What Would Jesus Say If He Returned Today?
In this challenging and enlightening book by author Leonard Jacobson, the age-old questions surrounding the identity and mission of Jesus are boldly tackled. This book, which initially began as a play and then evolved into a movie, invites readers on a journey of discovery and inspiration. Who was Jesus, and what was the true purpose of his presence on Earth? In a world where interpretations of his teachings have varied widely over time, this book unearths the authentic message that Jesus intended to convey.
Through the author’s unique lens, he offers insights into the mystery surrounding Jesus’s life and teaching, his crucifixion, and his ultimate resurrection two thousand years later. He reveals how the teachings of Jesus have been misunderstood and misused.
But the book doesn’t stop at historical reinterpretation. It poses a compelling question: What if Jesus were to return today? What would Jesus say and how would Christians respond? Leonard Jacobson skillfully clarifies Jesus’s teachings for the modern world. With a blend of forcefulness and compassion, he insists on the need for Christians to awaken to the true message of Jesus. He also emphasizes the need for Jews to fulfill their sacred covenant with God and for all the world’s religions to come into alignment and recognize the Oneness at the heart of each religion and spiritual tradition. The wisdom shared in this book extends its reach beyond religious boundaries, offering guidance to individuals of all faiths.
As the story unfolds, a remarkable bridge is built between the spiritual wisdom of the East and West. In an era when many from the West have turned to the East in search of answers, “Liberating Jesus” acts as a unifying force, harmonizing diverse perspectives. Through the lens of the returned Jesus, readers are offered a path to unity that transcends the confines of religious dogma and reveals the profound Oneness that underlies all spiritual paths and traditions.
