Me: I am thankful for Jesus!
Prodigal: How do we know He really existed.
Me: Maybe this will help.
This is from the book The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
“We have better historical documentation for Jesus than for the founder of any other ancient religion, “said Edwin Yamauchi. Sources from outside the Bible corroborate that many people believed Jesus performed healings and was the Messiah, that he was crucified, and that despite this shameful death, his followers, who believed he was still alive, worshiped him as God. One expert documented thirty-nine ancient sources that corroborate more than one hundred facts concerning Jesus’ life, teachings, crucifixion, and resurrection. Seven secular sources and several early creeds concern the deity of Jesus, a doctrine “definitely present in the earliest church,” according to scholar Gary Habermans.
And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
