Relationship Now

For 2,000 years
we’ve missed the main message

Christianity (becoming “Christ-like”) isn’t gaining a moral creed, sitting in a pew on Sunday morning, becoming a “better person,” or studious education of dusty doctrines — it’s about embracing a relationship with someone Jesus called “Father.”

“You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.” (John 8:19) NKJV

Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning …I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him [Father].” (v. 25-26)

“I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.” (v. 28, emphasis mine)

“No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6 NKJV, emphasis mine)

“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.” (v. 7)

“THIS is eternal life, that they may know You [Father].” John 17:3 NKVJ, emphasis mine)

“I have manifest Your name [“Father” – that’s the name He was always talking about] to the men whom You have given Me out of the world …  As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world [to manifest Your name].” John 17:6,18 NKJV

Discovering Christianity’s true origins (and how far we’ve strayed from those origins) is what this blog is about.
