If you think about it, one of the craziest things we believe as Christians is that the God who made the world became one of us. Two thousand years ago, a man named John who hung out with Jesus wrestled with same question. And he was an eyewitness of everything Jesus said and did.

Why In The World: Like Son, Like Father
March 8, 2015 • Steve Harms
If there is a God, we all want to know what he’s like. We’re curious. Our tendency is to look in nature, outer space, or within ourselves to find clues about him.
