...Gods Lawyers changing hearts
Jesus in the Courtroom:
How Believers Can Engage the Legal System for the Good of His World
by John W. Mauck
Have you ever thought of Jesus as a lawyer?
It may sound odd, but at mes in His ministry, Jesus wore his lawyer hat. Consider when he defended the
adulterous woman or when he argued from Scripture that the disciples were ne to pick grain on the Sabbath.
Isaiah promised the Child given to the world, who would be called Mighty God and Prince of Peace, would
also be called Wonderful Counselor which can be translated as Extraordinary Lawyer.
The legal aspects of Jesus' ministry have long been obscured or misunderstood, par cularly his interac ons
with and a tude toward the law and lawyers. Jesus' desire in his day and ours is to use the law to secure the
rights of people to hear the gospel and to set humanity free. In other words, to be the best ci zens we can be,
we need to follow the legal teaching of the greatest advocate who ever lived.
Jesus in the Courtroom covers:
Why we should care about the law
Strategic involvement with the law
How God has used the law to expand His
kingdom
What can happen when we partner with legal
professionals
How ci zenship is part of discipleship
Chris an ci zenship in ma ers like adop on,
abor on, minimum wage, foster care, and
schools
A new prayer strategy that is massively impac ng
li gants across America
A new plan for saving the lives of hundreds of
thousands of children by proposing an armis ce
on one front of the 50year legal abor on wars
We are ci zens of two kingdoms, called to wisely
bring the news of Gods kingdom into civil life. For all
of us who care for our communities parents, teachers,
pastors engagement with our legal system is cri cal
to cul va ng a context where the gospel can ourish.
Jesus in the Courtroom will help us understand not
only why we have failed to appreciate the legal
aspect of Jesus' life, but also to understand and
cooperate with his legal ministry to us and through
us. If we are going to be faithful ci zen disciples
impac ng our world, we need to look anew at how
Jesus taught, thought, and interacted with the legal
establishment of his day.
