Jesus at the Helm Jerry Koch

We are on a journey with Jesus, but we spend most of our time trying to understand the journey instead of enjoying the trip. This book is a sort of allegory. We are God's sailing vessels on a journey across spiritual oceans to discover the depth of our relationship with our Father, with Jesus, and with the Holy Spirit. It's not a journey of destinations, but a journey discovering who we are and what has been given to us by our Captain, Jesus. He has destined us for this voyage to learn through His grace, how to use what we have hidden deep in our inner man. Our destiny is in the voyage, not in the destination. He has given us a Navigator to assure us of our course heading and arrivals at spiritual ports that He has destined us to experience. But will we trust our Navigator and the Captain of our soul? Are we flowing with Him, or taking over by our own efforts to follow our plan? I spent a number of years sailing through the Caribbean, to Central and South America, running from God, finding that Jesus never left me. He drew me back to Him. He then took those experiences to show me how they parallel our journey with Him. It's only by grace that we can make this voyage. So let's take this journey together to find out who we are, what we have been given, and how to flow in this grace.
