The Jesus You Can't Ignore

What You Must Learn from the Bold Confrontations of Christ

De: John F. MacArthur

Narrado por: John MacArthur

Do you have any idea who Jesus really is?

“What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur.

This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Our view of Jesus affects the way we view God, the world, ourselves, and every one of our decisions.

These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic—and sometimes pathetic—pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. Until now.

Like an investigative journalist on a mission, best-selling author and teacher John MacArthur walks through the gospel records and shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of the Jesus you can’t ignore.

grows a backbone in a believer

for those who believe in Jesus this book shows you how to defend his leadership

awesome

finally an accurate description of Jesus, not just a neutered, passivity, plush version of being nice always.

Accurate, clear, faithful and thorough.

What we need to understand a biblical Jesus! This is one way we participate in 2Co. 10:1-6!

Surprisingly Great!

Would you listen to The Jesus You Can't Ignore again? Why?

This is a book I will undoubtedly read several times. As a student of Apostolic Doctrine, I have bookmarked several key points. My only regret is that this is an abridged version and I cannot locate the unabridged one, or I would buy that as well.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Jesus You Can't Ignore?

Many people in this post-modern era rewrite history and create their own Jesus. This book reminds us that their was a confrontational (but not belligerent) side to Christ. I mean, the authorities of His day had reasons to kill Him, and it's not because the Lord baked them cookies.

Any additional comments?

Although I have never cared much for John MacArthur, he really knocks this one out of the park.

Convicting, Inspiring, Encouraging and Worshipful

Johnny Mac’s reading puts all the emphasis on the right places and makes listening to this book very natural and captivating. I appreciated the chronological presentation of Jesus’s conflict with the leaders of the day and the “bookends” that were pointed out in Jesus’s ministry. Understanding and seeing Jesus in the light presented in this book is desperately needed today.
1) This is a shortened version of the full book but it retains the meat of each chapter.
2) A lot can be learned about the historical background of Jesus’s encounters with the religious leaders of the day.
3) This book doesn’t just offer greater “academic” head knowledge but increased faith in and awe of Jesus. I was moved to worship and praise God!
4) This will encourage us to be more bold, in a way that is loving according to God’s standards, and teach us to remember that true humility and love is determined by God and not man.
5) J. Mac teaches Truth matters, humility and love before God is to speak His truth boldly for His glory and for the good of those listening.
6) He teaches, like Jesus, we ought not be concerned if the truth will be received or rejected; our aim is to please the Lord and be faithful in carrying out our commission and living out of our identity in Christ.
7) If you are looking to know and understand Jesus better, if you want to know how to be more bold, if you want to understand the value of truth and how and why to fight for it, if you want to know if you should speak that thought you have been wanting to say to your leaders in your church or to others...then listen to this!
