"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." This confession, made first by Peter to the Teacher of Galilee, is a cornerstone of any relationship with the Lord. Although Peter had received this insight from the Father, later pictures that we see of him in the Gospels show a considerably imperfect understanding of who Jesus really was. Peter's distorted view of Christ fed attitudes and actions in him that frequently contradicted the basic principles of the kingdom of heaven. When our perspective of Jesus is similarly unclear, it can produce in us bitterness, indifference, anxiety or legalism. Through daily encounters in the Gospels, God in Sandals offers a fresh approach to the Person of Jesus. This unique devotional resists providing a finished portrait of Christ. It rather invites you to join the people who walked with Him--the people who were surprised again and again by the extraordinary mystery of the Word made flesh. The resulting adventure will not only allow you to enjoy Jesus as never before but will also deeply stir your soul and plant the seeds of genuine and dramatic spiritual transformation.
