Its five Greek letters form the first letters of the early Christian confession that \u2018Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Saviour.\u2019 To draw a fish sign meant: \u2018I am a Christian.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>To be a Christian, according to the New Testament is to know Christ. But who is he, and what is the meaning of his life? In <em>Ichthus<\/em> Sinclair Ferguson and Derek Thomas answer these questions by taking us on a tour of nine key events in Jesus\u2019 life and ministry. Their aim is to help us both understand and share the confession of those early Christians who drew the fish sign.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ichthus<\/em> is a book for everyone and anyone. It will help readers who are already Christians because of what it says about their Master. Those who are wondering exactly what it is Christians believe about Jesus should find many of their questions clearly answered. And those honest enough to admit that they have ignored, or even rejected Christianity but really could not explain what Christians believe about Jesus, will find these pages both clear and challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Written by two friends who, between them, have been following Jesus Christ for a total of almost a hundred years, <em>Ichthus <\/em> will encourage you to share their faith in him.<\/p>\n<h3>SHORT: Derek Thomas on<em> Ichthus<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe title=\"The Significance of the Life of Christ\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/laKJj51R9Hc?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>FULL: Derek Thomas on<em> Ichthus<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe title=\"Ichthus - Jesus Christ, God&#039;s Son, The Saviour\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/odChIAplAK0?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ironsharpensironradio.com\/podcast\/december-29-2017-show-with-derek-thomas-on-ichthus-jesus-christ-gods-son-the-saviour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Interview of Derek Thomas with <em>Iron Sharpens Iron Radio<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Introduction<\/td>\n<td>ix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>The Manger \u2013 Incarnation<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>The River \u2013 Baptism<\/td>\n<td>21<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>The Wilderness \u2013 Temptation<\/td>\n<td>35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>The Mountain \u2013 Transfiguration<\/td>\n<td>55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>The Garden \u2013 Decision<\/td>\n<td>67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>The Cross \u2013 Passion<\/td>\n<td>83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>The Tomb \u2013 Resurrection<\/td>\n<td>105<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>The Throne \u2013 Ascension<\/td>\n<td>129<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>The Return \u2013 Coming<\/td>\n<td>145<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endorsements \u2018Pastoral, but also theological, and gives answers to many of the questions that people have about the person and work of Christ.
