Jesus is Real
Thursday, September 12, 2019Is Jesus real?
Sincerely,

Dear McCoy,
Absolutely! Jesus is real, and the Bible accounts of Him are also real. There are historical accounts of Jesus by an ancient writer named Josephus that attest to Jesus’ existence. Archaeological evidence of the church dates back to the first century… within a couple generations of when Jesus lived. This archaeological data is very important because it confirms that the message of Christ spread during a time in history when people could confirm His empty tomb, His miracles, and His hometown history. In short, if Jesus was a fake, the people of that time period would have stopped a false legend from spreading… but the opposite was true. Jesus’ church and message spread because the story was true and couldn’t be refuted. For more information on this topic, we highly recommend the book A Case For Christ by Lee Strobel. SB
