Did Jesus Really Live?
Jesus Christ lived 2000 years ago in Israel. This fact has been proven by trusted
Christian and non-Christian sources.
Did Jesus really perform miracles?
There are four independent testimonies of his miracles (healing of sick people,
stopping storms, walking on water, and bringing the dead back to life) in the books
of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, were written within the lifetime of the people
that witnessed the events. Also, Jesus' enemies agreed that he had special
powers.
Was Jesus really killed on a cross and did he really come back to life?
The testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John say that he did. Archaeologists
have found the name of Pontius Pilate, his judge, written on a stone from the time
of Jesus and other evidences.
Jesus appeared to women, men, and even a group of 500 people after he came
back to life. He ate fish and touched his friends. He was not a spirit. He was really
alive. Jesus' followers were so sure that he was alive that many of them were
willing to suffer, be put in prison, be beaten, and even die for this belief. If this was
just a story, and Jesus' followers had any doubts about its truth, why would they
suffer so much for a lie? People will never die and suffer for a lie that they made
up. So, it is clear that Jesus' followers were absolutely sure that Jesus was God,
that he had special powers, he died, and came back to life.
