Why follow Jesus?

There are lots of good reasons to follow Jesus but the best one by far is that he really was telling the truth: He's God (John 1:18, John 14:7) and he's our only way of knowing God personally (John 14:6).


If you're not convinced, please don't write it off before you've looked into the evidence for yourself.  It's much better to make your decision about it based on the facts rather than anything else.  And if it is true then it's actually a matter of life and death so it's kind of important!  The following links should help get you started and you can always ask me questions directly if you like.

1. The gospels (a brief blog) 
If we're going to follow Jesus, we need to know the truth about him.  The primary source of information about Jesus is the gospels but are they reliable historical accounts or made up rubbish?  If they're made up rubbish, Christianity falls at the first hurdle.  This blog explores the validity of the gospel accounts we have in our Bibles.

2. The resurrection (a brief blog) 
Christianity hinges on the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:14).  If Jesus is just another dead guy then he was either deluded or a liar.  Either way, not worth following.  But if it's true that he rose from the dead, that changes everything!  This blog looks at the evidence.

3. Two Ways to Live (a website)
So what's it all about anyway?  This website has an excellent explanation of what's so good about the good news of Jesus in 6 straight-forward points.

What next?
Get in touch and let me know how you get on.  I'd be happy to be of any help I can!
