Throughout the Old Testament and into the New God not only demands righteousness from his people but also showers on grace that enables them to act. Jesus of course provides the ultimate fulfillment of these twin aspects of Gods relationship to humanity. In biblical terms Jesus is the King who demands righteous obedience from his followers and Jesus is the Servant who provides the grace that enables this obedience. In Following Jesus the Servant King  Jonathan Lunde makes plain how having a strong understanding of covenantal theology opens us to greater discipleship. From the angle of biblical teaching Lunde tackles some of the most poignant questions about being a disciple of While answering these essential questions Lunde thoroughly details God's covenants throughout the whole of Scripture explaining what this means in terms of our relationship with God and how Jesus fulfills each of them in turn.  Part of the Biblical Theology for Life series this practical and robust book will help you ground your discipleship on the solid foundation of biblical understanding and reflection.
