The popular philosophy today is that all religious belief systems, as long as heart-felt, are equal. Pick any one of them – Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, or New Age Spirituality and follow it sincerely, and you’ll get to Heaven. That’s what most people in the world believe, but Jesus teaches otherwise.

​

There is little historical question that Jesus Christ existed. Even the date on our calendars testifies to the fact that Jesus of Nazareth lived on earth nearly 2,000 years ago (“B.C.” means “before Christ” and “A.D.” means Anno Domini, “the year of our Lord”). What people wonder about is the biblical record of His life and teachings, His miracles, His claim to be the Son of God, and His offer of eternal salvation.

​

Prophecy Fulfilled 
Hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth, Scripture records the words of the prophets of Israel predicting His coming. The Old Testament, written by many people over a period of 1,500 years, contains more than 300 prophecies describing His coming. All of these details came true, including his miraculous birth, His sinless life, His many miracles, His death and His resurrection.

​

More Than a Man

The life Jesus led, the miracles He did, the words He spoke, His death on the cross, His resurrection, His ascent to heaven – all point to the fact that He was not merely man, but more than man. Jesus claimed, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9), and “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6).

​

He Changes People's Lives
The life and teachings of Jesus Christ have produced great changes in the lives of men and women throughout history. Where ever the gospel (“good news” from God) has gone in the world society has been influenced for the good and individual’s lives have been dramatically changed.

​

For example, Lew Wallace, a famous general and literary genius, was a known atheist. For two years, Mr. Wallace studied the leading libraries of Europe and America, seeking information that would forever destroy Christianity. While writing the second chapter of a book he planned to write, he suddenly found himself on his knees crying out to Jesus, “My Lord and my God.”

​

Lord, Liar or Lunatic?
In his famous book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis makes this statement:

“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg – or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.”

​

Biblical Christianity is not just a philosophy of life, nor an ethical standard or obedience to religious ritual. True Christianity is based on a vital, personal relationship with a risen, living Saviour and Lord.
