Product Description
The stories in this volume explore the Jewish mindset of the first century, along with its traditions and worldview. They probe the depths of particular nuances behind the words of Jesus, showing how He crafted them to heal history—by deliberately visiting specific locations on very particular dates and engaging with carefully chosen individuals. Bent World, Bright Wings highlights the action of Jesus in two deeply defiled places, each weighed down by the massive spiritual payload that results from millennia of corruption. In one place, He simply spoke healing to the land; in the other, His actions were a direct challenge to the powers behind one of the greatest ruptures in human history. In doing so, He was overshadowed by the Father—as our bent world is now overshadowed by the bright wings of His Spirit.
