Anchors | God Is Like Jesus

A.W. Tozer once wrote: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” How we understand the character of God matters immensely. But there's good news - if we want to know what God is like, all we have to do is look at Jesus. (John 8:1-11)
