Episode Details

In our "Good Question" devotional series, we have established that Jesus clearly claimed to be God during his earthly ministry. But the crucial follow-up question is - is there any evidence to support this extraordinary claim?

In this episode, the pastor presents five categories of evidence that point to the truth of Jesus' divine identity:
- His Teachings - Described as among the greatest moral teachings of all time, the pastor suggests Jesus' words are what one would expect from God himself.
- His Actions - The miracles Jesus performed, from turning water into wine to healing the sick and raising the dead, display an extraordinary power unlike any other person.
- His Character - Even those who don't accept his divinity have praised Jesus' remarkable goodness, selflessness, and love, continuing even as he was tortured and executed.
- Fulfilled Prophecy - Jesus fulfilled hundreds of specific prophecies from the Old Testament, some written over a thousand years earlier, against overwhelming mathematical odds.
- His Resurrection - Arguably the most important evidence, the pastor argues that the disciples' transformed lives and commitment to sharing the resurrection message supports the reality of Jesus rising from the dead after his crucifixion.

While anyone can make claims, the pastor presents these five lines of evidence as powerful support for Jesus truly being who he said he was - God in the flesh. He invites continued exploration of the basics of Christianity.
