In the second chapter we see how the church perceives Jesus and he is the image we bear. Eldredge gives us a few examples of people in the bible whom God has used to fight and as God uses them it may seem like he is taking risks. A few of my favorite examples are of David and how God used him a young shepherd boy and a slingshot to defeat a giant and Sampson whom uses the jaw bone of a donkey to slay one-thousand men! Those are some amazing stories that God has prevailed in. The fighting stories don't sound like a wimpy God that we have been taught to believe in, a God who is like a Mother Theresa or Mr. Rogers the God we serve is powerful and mighty and I believe that is the image of God we need to see if we are going to serve him properly!
