But what was in it for Jesus? \"It\" refers to His incarnation and sacrificial death. \"It\" refers to all those benefits that I think about. I have some knowledge of what I have gained by becoming a child of God and a Jesus follower. But what has Jesus gained by having me be one of His children. We know He has many children. What has Jesus gained by having many children? Really, what is in it for Him?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, I have explored many illustrations, examples and metaphors that are given in Scripture that give insight into the relationship between the Jesus follower and Jesus. This different perspective of looking at what Jesus had to gain actually magnifies what Jesus followers gain in their relationship with Jesus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere are a few examples detailed in the book: Creator-created, Father-child of God, King-subjects, head-body (church), leader-follower, and others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Daniel has a website: https: \/\/adventuresinbiblicalthinking.home.blog\/ where he posts short articles about adventure in Biblical thinking.
