Messengers
Messengers is hardly a shallow tome filled with nice Christian platitudes and clichés. Each testimony probes, digs deeper to expose the Jesus who resides in the depth of each messenger’s soul.
Savor the sweetness and simplicity of Harvard theologian Peter J. Gomes’ words, “He is all I need,” whispered in reference to Jesus. Former Raelette, Dr. Mable John speaks of waking up every morning “praising God for the privilege of serving someone.” Musician Patrick Henderson confesses his anger towards God for allowing his hand to be severed by a madman.
Several messengers share testimonies of grief and mourning. Others express faith in a Jesus who brings deliverance and healing. And every messenger agrees that we are all loved by God with an enormous passion.
Messengers is a coffee table quality book though it’s hard to imagine its pages remaining pristine after constant handling. Messengers is a book intended to offer inspiration over and over again.
A minister once posed this question, “Will you recognize the messenger?” Before I could open my mouth he said, “You will if you recognize The Message. The key to recognizing the messenger is in knowing and recognizing The Message.”
And Jesus said, “Truly, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me.” (John 13: 20 NLT)
