Starting Points?

I have borrowed this thought from W. David Phillips

Martin Lloyd Jones, in his book Authentic Christianity which is from his Studies in Acts Series, makes the following statement:

I am convinced that the trouble with the world today is that it does not believe in God.  And much of our evangelism goes wrong because it starts with the Lord Jesus Christ.  But you must start with God the Father, God the Creator, one whose glory fills the heavens, who is over all.  With reverence I say that you cannot understand the Lord Jesus Christ, and indeed there is a sense in which there is no meaning to Him and to the message about Him, unless you start with God the Father.

It seems a bit rich to disagree with a theologian of this ilk, but I think I’d still rather tart with Jesus – the ‘God-man’.

What do you reckon?

And why?…

I’ll offer my ‘why’ in the comments later on!
