The current global groundswell is towards a new concept and understanding of the "Real Jesus" - finally incoporating the stunning truths in the writings of the early Church Fathers..
Jesus stated that he was the only one who truly knew the Father (Matt:11:27) - that makes sense since he was the "express image of his person"! (Hebrews 1:3).
Was Jesus' mission to ascend into Heaven and prepare a place for us there....or was it an immediate place of restored communion within us - our own personal mansion here and now on earth in unity with the Trinity?
As we continue to reflect on our personal journeys of being awakened by the Spirit, we become more aware that we experience this unending journey of transformation as weak, wobbly and sometimes wounded people, carrying around God’s glory in a jar of clay (2 Cor 4:6-7 )
