What is unusual about this commentary? It is exciting. It may turn your life upside down. Walking with Jesus and looking through the eyes of those present we discover how shocking many of Jesus’ words appear as he displays in word and deed God’s love, power, and covenant faithfulness to a hopeless and helpless generation; how true repentance and faith turns our world upside down when we begin to share in the joys and travails of God’s new Kingdom. Challenging questions and comments encourage us to respond.

Exciting and life changing
