About John

I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and has provided all of mankind with a path to peace, happiness and eternal life. These teachings are contained in the Bible, the words of which can lead anyone to find the pathway to life through Jesus Christ if they care to look and study God's word. I am writing this blog to continue my own study and journey with Christ, using it as an opportunity to capture what I have learned as I work methodically through the New Testament. Any comments would be much appreciated as I do not profess to know it all and remain open to things others have seen and been taught by the Lord. Sharing with each other is the best way we can all learn the truth of the New Covenant, so please feel free to comment on any of the posts.
