I JAILED JESUS!

I Jailed Jesus: How I Imprisoned the King I Called Lord (And How You Can Set Him Free)

A convicting exploration of the subtle ways Christians confine Christ to comfortable corners of their lives while claiming Him as Lord, and a practical roadmap to complete surrender.

Full Description

I Jailed Jesus is a piercing examination of modern Christian discipleship that confronts an uncomfortable truth: many believers have imprisoned the very Savior they claim as Lord. Through raw personal testimony and biblical insight, author John Chacko exposes how Christians construct invisible cells that confine Jesus to specific areas of life while maintaining autonomy over finance, relationships, careers, entertainment, and personal ambitions.

Born from a transformative Thanksgiving morning encounter with Galatians 2:20, this book chronicles the author's journey from comfortable Christianity to radical surrender. Chacko identifies six distinct "cells" where believers commonly jail Jesus:

• • The Compartment Cell - Dividing life into "sacred" and "secular" domains
  • The Comfort Cell - Keeping Jesus at a safe distance from anything that costs too much
  • The Selective Cell - Choosing which commands to obey and which to ignore
  • The Convenience Cell - Following Jesus only when it fits our schedule and preferences
  • The Familiarity Cell - Reducing an infinite God to predictable religious routines
  • The Bargaining Cell - Negotiating terms with Jesus instead of complete obedience

  Through compelling narrative, biblical exposition, and practical application, I Jailed Jesus challenges readers to examine the gap between confessing "Jesus is Lord" and actually living under His lordship. The book doesn't merely diagnose the problem, it provides a pathway to freedom through "The Great Release," offering actionable steps for dismantling the prisons we've built.

  Includes practical resources: a Lordship Audit for self-examination, a 40-Day Release Challenge for transformation, and accountability frameworks for sustained surrender.

  I Jailed Jesus is ultimately a book about freedom, the paradoxical freedom found only in complete surrender to the King who refuses to share His throne.
