The Gospel According to Jesus Part 4: What is God like?

The good news of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus includes big claims about what God is like. Rather than a God who is distant and unconcerned, or worse - angry and ready to smite - the God revealed in Jesus is one who is shown to be present in our embodied reality, including our suffering and pain, and who freely offers forgiveness, healing and reconciliation. God is in solidarity with us, even to the point of death. And this reveals a God who is truly good, who can be trusted, and who invites us to be and do the same for one another.
