About

Look, I'm a big fan of Jesus. I think he's great, and i hope many people also discover this. I state this right up front, because sometimes it may seem like i'm having a go at churches and christians. Let me explain why. Luke 19 records Zaccheus's story..

Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd

In the same way that the crowd of Jesus's followers were physically obstructing Zaccheus's view, sometimes today's churches and christians also prevent people from seeing Jesus. Not so much with our physical bodies, but with words and actions.

Here's the thing ... I'm sure no church or christian is deliberately trying to turn people off Jesus - that just wouldn't make any sense. And yet, often that's what's happening. As Paul writes in Romans 7

I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate.

Hopefully, here on this little blog, we can understand some of what we do, and then switch to doing what is right - and allowing people to see Jesus.

(Oh, and the name Sycamore-Fig is from the tree Zaccheus had to climb to overcome being blocked from Jesus)
