Christ in the words of a non-Christian

Christ in the words of a non-Christian

There are a lot of people out there that say Jesus did not exist or refuse to accept him as the Christ. Here is an account by Flavius Josephus Jewish Roman historian born 34AD.
As Josephus was not a Christian he had nothing to loose by contradicting the Bible. He however wrote,
“Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was the Christ, and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first, did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians so named from him are not extinct at this day.”
Think about it Josephus an none Christian said Jesus worked wonders that he died on the cross at the hands of Pontius Pilate at the suggestion of Jewish leaders. That he died and rose again
“as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians so named from him are not extinct at this day.”
What do you think about Jesus. Josephus thought him to be the Christ.
Do you?
Think about it.
