If you have been alive for a decade or so you already know about the uncomfortable persistence of destructive human behavior in our species. You've encountered it in your self and you see it in everyone else. You see this behavioral dysfunction in individual humans, and you have seen it in societies of humans. Our individual and our collective lives suffer greatly from these persistent destructive behaviors. And this reality that we are all faced with begs the question; can anything positively affect the human condition? An extension of that question is; can God (whatever God is) genuinely affect positive change in the human condition? And if God can, how exactly does that work?
Most human religions don't actually even suggest that the gods/goddesses want to do this. Instead, most religions propose that the gods/goddesses want you and me to effect change in our human condition and that if we do change in whatever way they want our behavior to change, they will give us something good, something we cannot give ourselves. The Judeo-Christian religion is kind of the exception to most religions our species has generated. The Judeo-Christian religion actually does propose that God wants to, first of all, restore harmony with God (atonement), and then, in the context of that restored harmony(righteousness) fix what has come to be damaged in our human condition by the loss of harmony with God. All of the good things God wants to give us are not given as a reward for our good behavior, but rather our bettered behavior itself is the good stuff God will give us. if we let Him restore harmony between us and Him and fix what is broken in us.
So, if this Judeo-Christian religion is in any way a reflection of something real, we humans need to know exactly how God affects positive change in the human condition? The Bible wonderfully explains this, yet it does so in archaic terms and obscure concepts. There is a highly consistent theme running through the entirety of the bible on just this topic, but most readers do not have a clear sense of this. And the language of the Bible is now very much out of use, and thus is confusing to us. For example, what is Sin? What are redemption, salvation, consecration, and spiritual rebirth? What is the human spirit? What is the meaning of the biblical dichotomy of flesh and spirit? What does God mean by "
"? What are those laws all about? What use are they to humans? What is the heart of man? What is faith? What is righteousness?
The Unveiling of Jesus (
) is all about depicting Jesus as the thing God uses to fix what is damaged in our species. It is an unveiling of Jesus as judge/restorer of the world. And this book by John is the crowning section of the unfolding theme of God's means of fixing what is broken in our species.
I wrote this book to reintroduce people to the bible and what it has to say to our species, in some badly needed updated terms and concepts. I believe that when you read this book you will know how the human condition can be significantly positively affected by God and His Jesus expression. I expect this to blow you away. It blows me away when I see this stuff, and even more, as I experience the change God is making in me. I expect this book to stir up in your heart a deep love for God and a much greater trust in Jesus. And I expect you to begin to see God actually changing your human condition in ways that are miraculous.
