WHY BOTHER WITH JESUS?
Why should we bother with Christianity?
The simple answer is because it is true. If Christianity is not true, we are wasting our time. IF it's true, then it must be of vital importance to every human being...
p8
But how do we know it is true?
We can test the claims of Christianity because it is an historical faith. It is based on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our faith is based on firm historical evidence.
Who is Jesus?
Jesus is the most remarkable man who ever lived.
He is the centrepiece of our civilisation. After all, we call what happened before him 'BC' and what happened after him 'AD'.
A former Lord Chief Justice of England, Lord Darling,
said of the resurrection:
"It its favour as living truth there exists such overwhelmimg evidence positive and negative, factual and circumstantial, that no intelligent jury in the world could fall to bring in
a verdict that the resurrection story is true'.
The only satisfactory explanation for these facts is that Jesus did indeed rise from the dead and thus confirms that he was, and is, the Son of God.....
