Outside the Camp Where Jesus Is

Believers are exhorted to go outside the camp where Jesus is in Hebrews 13:13. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. We ask, What camp? Do we even know we are in camp? Do we want to bear the disgrace He bore? See the dilemma? Jesus followers want to be where Jesus is but to do so they will have to leave the camp. Those outside the camp are outsiders. Do we want to be outsiders? To go to where Jesus is means we have to leave where we are. This becomes very mysterious. The first four chapters elaborate on the concept of camps. This is important background information for personal application for the Jesus follower that comes in the last three chapters. The overall experience of the seven chapters is the creating of a setting for understanding a closer relationship with Jesus. This is something every Jesus follower wants.The reader will receive an expanded understanding of what constitutes a camp. They will be introduced to many examples of leaving a camp and arriving at another camp. The adventure of reading this book will stimulate the readers to think about the camps they are in, the camps they have left, the camps they have gone to, and what camps they may want to go to. This book is available in print and ebook format.Dr. Daniel has a website: https://adventuresinbiblicalthinking.home.blog/ where he posts short articles about adventure in Biblical thinking.
