2 | Why should I believe Jesus lived? | Heb 11:6 | biblicalman | 228946 | ||
Hi Christinme, The first reason why you can know that Jesus lived is because in 1st century AD a unique moral teaching unlike any ever known before suddenly burst on the world, and by commen consent came from the lips of a man named Jesus. It was teaching that subsequently changed the world, and it unquestionably required a 1st century source. The second reason why you can know that Jesus lived is that four men of different types each wrote a life story of a perfect man whose name was Jesus. Have you ever considered how difficult it is to invent a perfect man whose perfection is recognised by all? If we tried we would soon introduce our own little idiosyncracies. Yet four men achieved it and the only reason they did so was because their stories were all based on the life of Jesus. Had Jesus not lived as the prototype they would never have achieved it. The third reason why we can know that Jesus lived is because a whole new outlook on life and on spiritual things was introduced by Him, far superior to anything previously known. Its source was Palestine and everyone attributed it to a man called Jesus. We could go on, but put these three things together and they are proof positive that Jesus must have lived. How do we know that he was more than a good man? By considering the claims He made about Himself. He was either the most deluded man in history or He was God's only Son, and no deluded man could have taught as Jesus taught. Best wishes |
