Jesus Christ, Our Blessedness provides a biblical overview of blessing and curse. It begins in Genesis and works through to Revelation. The eternally blessed God created humans in his image in order to bless them. Humans sinned and brought the curse of sin upon themselves. God's work of redemption culminates in the incarnation of the Son, Jesus Christ. Through him and his saving work-life, death, resurrection and exaltation to God's right hand-Jesus enables humans to receive the blessing of God. This blessing is spiritual in the present evil age, but will encompass physical blessing when Jesus returns in glory. Those who trust in Christ are never cursed but always blessed by God. Jennifer Anne Cox has a PhD in theology and is the author of several theological books. Dr Cox seeks to provide theological resources that will help the church to understand the Bible and to put Christ at the centre of all things.
