In their new book Jesus Manifesto (Thomas Nelson), Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola argue that the church today is suffering from “Jesus Deficit Disorder” and needs to reconnect with the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. They write, “we have been handed a shrink-wrapped Jesus. Christ has become our once-a-week Mascot. We rally around Him on Sunday mornings, selfishly reaching for all we can get from Him – goodies and gifts, all of us. Then we push Him off to the sidelines the rest of the week.”
