Transformed by the Messiah

About this book

Discover the Jesus who has been pursuing you since before time! Join an unforgettable journey through the birth, ministry, and death of the Messiah as found in the Old and New Testaments, and have your own life transforming experience.When reading the Bible we often miss essential details that add richness and significance, and therefore don't grasp the bigger picture. New York Times bestselling author Rabbi Jason Sobel, in his unique and engaging way, helps readers see God's story in high definition, enabling them to better understand the cultural and historical background of Scripture, God's intention for every detail, and how it applies to our lives.Revealing hidden gems of prophecy and promises, Transformed by the Messiah helps answer questions such as: Is there any significance to the fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem? How does the Messiah's baptism set an example for us to emulate and what did it undo? Did the Messiah have to die on a cross and why did he not rise until the third day? Who are the shepherds and why was it important that the baby be found wrapped in swaddling cloth and laid in a manger? How can we embrace a supernatural perspective--living with a sense of possibility--and not be limited by a strictly natural perspective? Why does Genesis 3 talk about the "seed of a woman?" Why were the disciples so willing to immediately drop their nets, leave their families, and follow Jesus? You'll also learn how to respond with faith, not fear; trust God's plan, purpose, and provision; and move forward in the power of the Spirit.If you need hope, or simply a better understanding of God's plan of redemption for all mankind and your part in it, Transformed by the Messiah will open your heart and mind to be able to live in the supernatural power of God's Spirit as you follow Jesus and His command to make disciples. And whether you are Jewish or not, to help you read and study in a way that connects His story in the Old and New Testaments.
