What Do We Know About Jesus?

Can we believe he existed 2000 years ago? Jesus is not a philosophy, an ideal or a myth. Those who lived with him are adamant that he walked, ate, and performed miracles at their side. Even today he offers an extraordinary model of integrity and wholeness. Jesus was a man, and he is the Son of God, sent to us by his Father to save us from our sin. Through his death on the cross and his resurrection, Jesus conquered death and sin for us all.
Many of our actions have a multitude of outcomes, some predictable, some not. Often there are elements of risk. Such uncertainty is truer when weighing up motivations. Are you bold enough to precisely explain what precisely lies behind each of your actions”?
The news of Jesus’s resurrection came as something beyond belief. Once the Disciples saw him, everything changed. They clung unshakeably to their belief. Though they were uneducated, they preached and wrote and travelled to far off countries to spread the word of Jesus’s rising from the dead.
