God’s greatest gift to mankind is his only begotten Son, the man Jesus of Nazareth – Master, Messiah, Mediator and Monarch appointed by the Most High. God the Father is invisible, however, his Son’s perfected life, redemptive death and glorious resurrection was witnessed and recorded by many. God expects us to follow Jesus, whom he has made Lord (Giver of God’s law) and Christ (Giver of God’s spirit).

This website is a family’s humble attempt to understand better what Jesus actually taught, instructed and exemplified.

Jesus’ call – “Follow me!” – is quoted 21 times in the New Testament of the Bible. Throughout the centuries since then, this call to discipleship never lost its critical importance and urgency.

Jesus did not mince his words when it came to considering the costs: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” (Luke 9:23-24)

And yet there are also manifold promises, for example: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)

Seeing so much is to be left behind and so much is at stake, surely following Jesus Christ is more than to merely acknowledge, agree or even admire. An uncompromising desire is called for, namely to be moulded into the image of the Son of God on a daily basis – in heart, mind, soul as well as in word and deed – without regard for our own comfort or reputation.

Distractions are manifold. Deceptions abound. We pray that the articles, bible studies and testimonies on this blog may help to bring focus and clarity, both on fundamental issues (Who is the one true God? How is the one true God to be worshipped? How do we understand scripture? What is the meaning of faith? What is Jesus’ ultimate role in the ages to come? ) as well as on the pressing challenges of our modern day (How are we to navigate increasingly intrusive technology? How do we overcome the overwhelming threat of digital idolatry? In a world of hundreds of competing denominations, what does it mean to gather in Christian fellowship?).

In following Jesus Christ, we put our hearts to the outworking of God’s great promise of Isaiah 45, repeated in Philippians 2:

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus [Yehoshuah, ‘Yah’s Salvation’] every knee should bow [in submission], of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess [consent, agree fully, give praise] that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)
