Jesus was not just a nice guy, a prophet from God or a kind, good teacher from almost 2,000 years ago.
He was either a compulsive liar, a crazed lunatic or He was Lord. Those are your 3 options.
Jesus himself made it very clear who He said He was in his 3 years of ministry.
Jesus claimed to be the Son of Man which is referenced 81 times within the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This was considered blasphemy. No one had ever claimed to be God and forgive others of their sin.
Today on Strong By Design, hosts Mike Westerdal and Jared Haley have a conversation about the evidence and proof of the Resurrection. If Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose 3 days later, there is no debate… He is the Son of God.
In Matthew 28:6, we are reminded of this truth: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”
-Happy Easter “He is RISEN!”
"The tomb where Jesus was buried had a giant boulder in front of it and two Roman soldiers guarding it with their lives. Meaning, if something happens, they’re going to be executed. It’s very serious, armed, professional soldiers with a giant stone in front of it. And then, the body is gone. Where could the body have gone? I urge you to explore this deeper. What do you think is more likely? That it’s a story? Or that this actually happened?" - Mike Westerdal
