If you are a follower of Jesus, you have a glorious hope. You expect, someday, to be like Jesus'to be the loving, joyful, peaceful person you see in him. In the meantime, along with millions who hold this hope, you live with feelings of inadequacy, if not defeat, in the present. What, then, of Jesus? promise that we can experience a magnificent life here and now? What about the ?peace that passes understanding? and ?joy unspeakable? he promised us in our everyday lives? Your Forgotten Self asserts that if you see Jesus as different from yourself, you have no hope of enjoying the fulfilling life he lived. It argues that, instead of being fundamentally different from us, Jesus was the embodiment of the essence of our humanity. As the mirror of our true nature, he opens our eyes to an aspect of ourselves to which we have been blind. Says Your Forgotten Self, in the view of Jesus? early followers, to be a believer is to see yourself as Jesus saw himself.Ord, David Robert is the author of 'Your Forgotten Self Mirrored in Jesus the Christ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781897238332 and ISBN 1897238339.
