About

This website is a teaching and publishing ministry of the Disciples Global Network. The focus is on Jesus, especially his death and resurrection. Who was he? What was his role? What did he accomplish? Moreover, what does it mean to be the Messiah of Israel?

The interpretive approach employed is twofold. First, focus on reading any passage in its original literary and historical contexts.  To whom did the author write and why? What were the historical circumstances that prompted it? Who were its recipients? Second, to give full consideration to all citations and verbal allusions from the Hebrew Bible or the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament, and especially to how the New Testament author applies it.

My name is David Maas. I have been a student of the Bible since shortly after my conversion in 1971. Currently, I reside in the town of Gardnerville in the State of Nevada.

Above all else, the figure and challenge of Jesus and his self-sacrificial act continue to consume me. "Christ crucified" is, indeed, the "wisdom and power of God," and the only means for truly understanding the identity and nature of God. In Jesus of Nazareth, all God's mysteries are revealed. My prayer is that this site will help others to better comprehend this same Jesus.

The proclamation of “ Christ Crucified ” is the “ power and wisdom of God ,” and there is no knowledge of the Father apart from him.

One Message for All

Image
The Gospel proclaimed by Jesus is NOT about reforming society or fixing governments. His message summons all men to repent and join an entirely new social order and political reality, namely, the Kingdom of God, and his message contradicts the political ideologies of the present “ evil age .” Responding positively to his invitation is vital considering the approaching end of the existing world order and its disappearance from the Earth.
