I could
I could quote the Bible from now to the day I die and I know I will not convince some people that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
There are those out there that claim he never existed. Those who would debunk the experts and historians who verify that Jesus did in fact live.
To those who say Jesus never existed. That he was a fictitious figure. I would ask am I and all other Christians both living dead guilty of following a delusion?
If so we are among the most gullible people in the world and there are around two billion of us in the world.
Are we guilty of following a myth even to the point of death. If so how sad, because if Jesus is a myth or a lie it would be the greatest lie ever perpetuated on mankind. And millions would have gone to their deaths for nothing.
No credible historian today doubts that Jesus was a real person.
Kenneth Scott Latourette, former President of American Historic Society in A History of Christianity wrote,
“It is evidence of His importance, of the effect that He has had upon history and presumably, of the baffling mystery of His being that no other life ever lived on this planet has evoked so huge a volume of literature among so many people and languages, and that, far from ebbing, the flood continues to mount.”
As the centuries pass by, the evidence is accumulating that measured by its effect on history, Jesus is the most influential life ever lived on this planet. The influence appears to be mounting.”
“No other life lived on this planet has so widely and deeply affected mankind.”
I believe Jesus is the Son of God. I believe him when he said,
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6.
If I am wrong and Jesus is not who he claims to be or if there is no God at all I have nothing to fear.
But if I and the two billion people who believe as I do are correct others have a lot to fear.
Think about it.
