Sample Book Insights:

#1 When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, he was not the king that the crowd had expected. He was not like the monarchs of old who sat on their jeweled and ivory thrones, dispensing their justice and wisdom. He was weeping for the dream that was dying, and for the sword that would pierce his supporters to the soul.

#2 The question of who Jesus actually was is important for Christians. It is the question of what he did, what he said, and what he meant. It is, by implication, the question that any grown-up Christian faith must address.

#3 I realized that I could no longer put off confronting the hard questions about Jesus. I was preaching regularly, leading Confirmation classes, and organizing worship. I was finishing my doctorate and teaching undergraduates. I was facing the challenges of real life on several levels.

#4 The reason Jesus wasn’t the king people wanted him to be is that he was the true king, but they had become used to the ordinary, shabby, second-rate sort. He was coming to redefine kingship around his own work, mission, and fate.
