He Gets Us, by Max Lucado

Jesus was human too, so He can understand our lives. He faced hardships and personal struggles that we deal with each day. He felt our deepest sadness and experienced our darkest solitude. Above all, Jesus gets us.

In the time of Jesus, communities were deeply divided by bitter differences in religious beliefs, political positions, income inequality, legal status, and ethnic differences. Where was Jesus through all of this? Did He align with the religious elites, or did He start an uprising to overthrow them? It was neither.

Instead, He went from town to town, offering hope, new life, and modeling a different way to live and to change the world. Instead of pursuing power, money, or religious authority, he shared a loving and sacrificially generous way of living, he championed a better way. How can we understand the Jesus of the Bible today?
