'Jesus Indeed' focuses on the words of Jesus, as recorded in the gospels. The book tackles the difference between grace and promised rewards for good deeds. It discusses the Saved and the Blessed and how both will receive eternal life, the former in Heaven and the latter in the future New Earth. The Blessed includes the Meek, the Merciful and others mentioned in the gospels.
Specifically, the book points to the words of Jesus that state that the Saved (meaning sinners that believe Jesus is the Savior) are forgiven their sins, accepted in Heaven as the children of God and receive eternal life, which are in a different category from the Blessed that are rewarded for certain good deeds done in this life. The latter receive eternal life to be lived in the future New Earth, as a reward.
Therefore and according to Jesus' Words, God's plan is to bless eternally not only the Saved believers but as many as possible included the broad category mentioned above, the Blessed, which as mentioned, includes the Meek, who Jesus said will inherit the (New) Earth, the Merciful, the Peacemakers, those who helped even the least of His brethren and many others. "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3: 17).
'Jesus Indeed' discusses that as salvation is a gift received entirely by God's grace and mercy towards sinners that believe Jesus is the Savior, even 'mere' believers will be saved. However, it brings out the exceeding additional blessings disciples and followers will receive as they have engaged in preaching the gospel to every creature.
The author -during the last decades of his earthly life- neither belonged to, nor was associated with any Christian organization, denomination, nor tried to defend this or that school of theology in his writings. Instead he confessed to be in love with and eternally indebted to Jesus, whose words have saved him.
