From the Publisher
“Ron Simkins bares his soul as he explores the full and true humanity of Jesus through reasonable arguments, biblical exposition, and practical application. God was and is ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.’ Jesus was and is God’s first-completed and glorified human, the firstborn of many brothers and sisters who make up God’s forever human family. This is ‘exciting, humbling, liberating, and challenging at many levels,’ according to Simkins. Your understanding of Jesus and his God may be changed by reading this book!”
—Walter D. Zorn, Professor emeritus, Lincoln Christian University
“This is a powerful book about our fundamental nature as humans created in the image of God. Simkins combines thoughtful reflections with thorough biblical analysis in an effort to reframe what makes us human, especially in light of Jesus’s life, death, resurrection, and ascension. Readers will find innumerable insights, candid but kind critiques, and inspiring examples that will help bring about further growth and transformation into all that God calls us to be. I am grateful for this contribution!”
—Adey Wassink, Senior Pastor, Sanctuary Community Church
“Jesus is risen, ascended, and coroneted, yet one of us. He is intimately accessible in ways few have considered. From his dwelling in that parallel universe Jesus called the kingdom of God, Simkins draws the curtain back, and distance dissolves as Messiah sits at our table and reveals himself as he did to those two Emmaus pilgrims. With laser precision Simkin’s focus is how Jesus’s humanity elevates ours. Jesus is Lord and our kin.”
—Thomas G. Ewald, retired Seminary Professor, Lincoln Christian University
