Core 52: A Fifteen-Minute Daily Guide to Build Your Bible IQ in a Year

Moore, Mark E.

How can one reconcile the political nature of Jesus with his disinclination to power? Moore's argument comes in three stages. Part one answers the question 'Was Jesus Political?' by examining Jesus' words and actions that have political import. Part two addresses the issue 'How was Jesus Political?' It concentrates on Mark 10:32-45 as a real articulation of Jesus' political praxis that is consistent throughout Jesus' ministry and teaching. Part three, 'Why did Jesus not openly announce his political role?' examines Jesus' treatment of the Jewish kings of the past, particularly why Jesus, 'meek and mild,' could claim to surpass them in honor.It is argued that Jesus' disinclination to associate himself with other rulers is not a rejection of a political role. Rather, he lived so consistently with his political praxis of self-abnegation that these other rulers were not appropriate models for Jesus to follow. Furthermore, the very claim to such titles was antithetical to his political praxis which relinquished all aggrandizement to God, who alone could exalt, abase, judge, and rule.

Is God Jesus? 
Biblical Concept: Incarnation 
Read: John 1:1–18 
Who is God? Is he good? Is he all powerful? Is he one or many? Everyone—whether a pastor, celebrity, atheist, or philosopher—seems to have an opinion. Who has the authority to give an answer? 
According to John 1, there’s one—Jesus—who can definitively answer the question: “No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known” (verse 18). If Jesus is whom he claimed to be (God), if he did what the Bible says he did, then nothing could be more important than our quest for him. Whether or not we believe in Jesus, we can’t deny that he has had more impact on humanity than any other person in history. Let’s start with Jesus to answer the question, Who is God?\nJesus Is Creator 
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). If this sounds familiar, it should. It echoes Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” John connected Jesus, the Word, with the God who created the world with a word. Paul, the apostle, said it like this: “By him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. . . . And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:16–17). The New Testament claims that the Creator, God, took on human flesh in the person of Jesus. 
Is there evidence for this? Well, one could point to the predictions he fulfilled (Luke 24:44; John 5:39), his divine birth (Luke 1:30‒35), his sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), or all the miracles he performed. However, the most remarkable (and historically verifiable) evidence is his resurrection from the dead (see chapter 49). It was this one event that transformed the world. 
Ultimately, you need to make up your own mind about who Jesus is. However, you would be in good company if you declared him Lord. After all, Jesus claimed to have all authority (Matthew 28:18), even to forgive sins (Mark 2:10) and judge the

This is a compelling study of Jesus and his exemplary servant-leadership. Dr. Mark Moore presents six Master Leader attributes: Identity, Vision, Mission, Values, Strategy, and Habits. Woven throughout these six chapters are 15 Master Leader Principles. With practical application in each chapter, this study is ideal for both personal growth and for small groups. There is no doubt that Jesus of Nazareth has had more impact on our globe than any other human in history. So it is only natural that we would look to him for a model of leadership ... because he embodied the enduring attributes of great leadership. My agenda is simple and straightforward. As a biblical historian I want to introduce Jesus through the lens of six leadership attributes. -Mark Moore - From the Overview
