The Leaping Jesus: Rethinking the Man of Sorrows

Description

by — Clyde L. Pilkington, Jr., Steve Martin

If Jesus could leap for joy, then joy was never meant to be optional.

There is a moment in the Gospels where Jesus does something most of us never imagine.

He leaps for joy.

Luke says He “exulted in the Holy Spirit” – overflowing with visible delight. A surprising picture … especially if we’ve learned to see Him mainly as a “Man of sorrows.”

So, which is it?

The Leaping Jesus takes a fresh look at Christ as the Gospels present Him – revealing a Savior Who knew sorrow, but was not defined by it … and Whose life was marked by joy.

This is not about denying the cross.
It’s about recovering the life that led to it.
