Jesus: Role Model for Mystics or Sinless Savior?
A Critiques of "Practicing the Way" By John Mark Comer
Part 36
John Mark Comer makes the claim that the four Gospels demonstrate that "Jesus’ life template was based on a rhythm of retreat and return, like breathing in and then out." Bob DeWaay rejects this claim and shows that Jesus is not a role model for mystics; He is the sinless Savior. He then rejects Comer's claim that solitude is vital to the Christian life. What we need are the means of grace as found in Scripture.
This is a critique of Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer, WaterBrook, 2024.
