Description:If most of the world lives in cities and God loves the world, we have to figure out what it means to reflect Jesus there. Much of the world has come to the gates of American cities, and we want to walk and dwell among its people just as Christ modeled. Understanding the tremendous opportunity and holy privilege before us, we long to demonstrate and announce his beautiful Kingdom in the heart of the city in order that the glory of God be visible to our neighbors. Jesus stepped into neighborhoods in and around Jerusalem and showed his disciples how to live. Through the life of Christ, we learn what it means to be salt and light, to bear truth and hope. Regardless of our background or how we got to the city, we are here. Some of us have come by choice, others by default. The mission of Jesus and the call of God remainThe book follows a straightformward format as each chapter identifies a trait or practice of Christ and puts it in historical and contemporary contexts. Using camera imagery (Zoom-in, Zoom-out, Capture His Image), the title and chapter sections are set up to give readers a chance to look at the words and deeds of Christ in depth, to reflect on the current urban mission scene, and to practice each character trait in their own communities. A dual focus on theological reflection and practical application makes the book useful for individuals, ministry teams, and students involved in the urban immigrant context.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
