Summary
In this conclusion, I summarise the guidance that my whole account yields for navigating the landscape of devotion to Jesus. Despite the length of the book and the scale of some of its claims, that yield is simple enough. Look for those forms of devotion in which the gospels, read in the context of worship, are together taken to provide an apt rendering of Jesus, and in which the whole story that they tell is taken to be the word of life spoken to the world by God. And look to the forms of devotion to Jesus that emerge where one sees the love, justice, and mercy of God being pursued and lived out. That is where one can expect to find the Spirit most powerfully at work, drawing people into the knowledge of Jesus and of the love shared with the world in him – the love that is God’s own inexhaustible life.
