The Jesus You Can't Ignore

What You Must Learn from the Bold Confrontations of Christ

By: John MacArthur

Narrated by: John MacArthur

Best-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth. Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren't the complete picture. Maybe because it's uncomfortable, or maybe because it's inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior, His passionate mission to make the Gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God. A mission that required he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip.

In the much-needed message in The Jesus You Can't Ignore, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus' ministry. MacArthur points to the picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus' commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.

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.

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!
