Y'All Come (eBook, ePUB)

An Invitation to G-D'S Neighborhood Issued by a Jew from Nazareth

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Yall Come seeks to understand G-ds call to Jesus the way that Jesus understood itto see the Jesus that Jesus saw. The Jesus of Yall Come was inviting Israel, the religious community, to join him as residents of G-ds neighborhood. He did so by teaching and modeling what life looked like in that neighborhood. By accepting Jesuss invitation, Israel would live into her chosen status as established by the Sinai covenant. She would become the holy nation of Exodus 19:6 and the light to the nations of Isaiah 49:6. She would do so by sharing the same holy light with other nations that Jesus had shared with her; she would teach and model the lifestyle in G-ds neighborhood. The journey that Jesus and Israel would share was strange and difficult. It ended in a way that neither side would likely have predicted when Jesus left Nazareth, bound for Jerusalem. Modern readers will likely find the journey to be equally strange, equally difficult, and equally unpredictable.

His wife, Karen, calls it his "midlife crisis." Jack served twenty-two years in parish ministry, retiring in 2009. He served as a member of a district committee on ordained ministry, district committee on church building and location (as chair), conference board on religion and race, and conference board of institutions.

Jack began Y'all Come as a retirement adventure soon after Karen admonished him that he needed a project. Jack and Karen have three children, two of which are twins. They have six grandchildren, four of which are twins. They are often reminded of Elisha's final request to Elijah (2 Kings 2:9).
