Statement of purpose

Karen Beilharz pointed out in an article about blogging in The Briefing that there are no well known evangelistic Godblogs.

I can't promise to change this, but I can at least set up a blog that is intended to be for people who are thinking about Jesus.

Proposition:
If Jesus is who he claims to be in the New Testament, he is significantly different from all the other religious leaders. While Muhammad pointed people to Allah and Buddha taught a way of living and thinking, Jesus primarily taught people to trust in him.

His outrageous claims, if true, make him a unique man. The things he said about himself are breathtaking: if anyone else said them, we would not take them seriously. But millions and millions of people have believed what Jesus said about himself.

Whatever else you study, do not fail to study and investigate and test the claims of Jesus.
