Evocative reflections on three facets of our relationship with Jesus highlight the longing for reality in our walk with him. To truly know him, we must grasp the complexity of his nature. Popular British author Adrian Plass draws on biblical stories and personal experiences, as well as his understanding of people's needs, to explore the Safe Jesus, the Tender Jesus, and the Extreme Jesus. God assures us that we are held safely in his hands, yet Christians face accidents and disasters throughout history. What does it mean to experience the Safe Jesus? Jesus commands his disciples to love one another, yet we often seek achievement through our own efforts, leading to failure. Instead, we must recognize the Tender Jesus, who becomes evident when we unite in the body of Christ. Jesus acted only as he saw his Father doing, with each encounter driven by the dynamic Spirit of God. Disobedience to this guidance constitutes true sin. When we are receptive to the Spirit's leading, we encounter the Extreme Jesus. Adrian Plass, in his reflections, is 'simply a man with a broom, sweeping away the rubbish that prevents others from passing further in and further up,' sharing insights on what Jesus does and doesn’t do in our lives.
