Because Tomato believes in Christianity, he also has some understanding of Christ Jesus. I once doubted whether Jesus was a real person. I also checked some books to prove my point of view. After consulting a lot of books, I came to the conclusion that
Jesus is a real person, and He really died and rose again. More than 1,900 years ago, the Israelites were under the tyrannical rule of the Romans. Their only hope was that their God would give them a savior.
, and at that time, a great leader and teacher appeared in the land of Israel. He had many followers, and his teachings, conduct, and deeds far exceeded all historical figures in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. He was
Jesus.
Jesus is really not an ordinary person. He is the Son of God. He existed before anything else. Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem in the land of Israel. He began to travel around when he was about thirty years old, publicly preaching the greatness of God.
Love reveals to people the secrets of the universe and the meaning of life; he also points out that the cause of human suffering comes from sin, and talks seriously about the terrible consequences of sin. He declares that he is the savior sent by God and is God’s
The Son used simple parables to tell the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. He also demonstrated His infinite power—he healed lepers, made the blind see, made the lame walk and raised the dead. Although He performed various miracles,
Everyone admired him; but in the end, he was crucified by everyone. However, something wonderful happened to him; he was resurrected on the third day after his death, and before ascending to heaven, he declared that he would come again.
Jesus Christ is the center of what Christians believe and preach. Therefore, once the authenticity of Jesus’ existence is shaken, the foundation of Christian faith will collapse. However, history has not denied the authenticity of Jesus. Anyone who seriously studies history,
Everyone will see that Jesus Christ is indeed a resurrected Savior. There once was a British lawyer named Morrison who did not believe in Christ and was bent on destroying the faith of Christians and trying to prove that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was not a historical fact. With his professional
He spent five years researching the authenticity of Jesus’ resurrection. But he discovered a result that he did not expect, that is, Jesus Christ was indeed resurrected on the third day after his death! Faced with this fact, he decided to accept Jesus as the
Savior, and wrote "Historic Judgment" to make his research results public to the world.
Let us also take a closer look at the historical facts of Jesus and the evidence of his resurrection. These evidences can prove that the deeds of Jesus are very different from fictional fairy tales and absurd legends!
At that time, Israel was just an unimportant area on the territory of the Roman Empire, so it was not easy to find a lot of historical information about Jesus. Because Roman historians would not bother to record a man who grew up in a remote country.
The great carpenter——Jesus. But unexpectedly, there are many records about Jesus Christ in the history of Rome. No wonder the Encyclopedia Britannica also uses 20,000 words to briefly describe the life of Jesus. Even the atheist
Our motherland, a communist country, also lists Jesus as one of the one hundred great men in history.
When it comes to studying Jewish history or the life of Jesus Christ, no one is more authoritative than Joseph. Joseph was born in AD 37. His father was a Pharisee, a Pharisee (the religious man who persecuted Jesus at that time).
.Joseph was not a Christian, and he had no good impression of Jesus. When he wrote the book, stories about Jesus were still circulating in the world. Joseph collected a lot of information about the life of Jesus from all aspects, and wrote two masterpieces
: "Jewish Wars" and "Jewish Ancient History". In "Jewish Ancient History", he gave a very detailed explanation of the life of Jesus. For example, Jesus was the son of Joseph and Mary, born of a virgin pregnancy.
"The History of the Decline and Fall of Rome" also clearly describes the death of Jesus and the development of Christianity. In addition, it also records the persecution of Christians. Although they were crucified, burned or thrown into the lion's den for the sake of Jesus,
But they still risked their lives to preach the resurrection of Jesus. There are also the "Life of Claudius" by Xuedonius, Pliny's official newspaper, the historical works of Lucian, the works of Darius, and the Roman royal official Hadrian's
The records and the report of Pilate who executed Jesus all tell a historical fact, that is, Jesus was well known to the Roman Empire, and he was also a real figure in history!
There is too much information about the history of Jesus. Due to the limited space of this booklet, it is not possible to record it all. No wonder some people say that there is more evidence for Jesus in history than Confucius, who is known as the teacher of all ages in our country. Faced with so much historical evidence
, and it is the evidence provided by those who oppose the Christian faith. The authenticity of Jesus is beyond doubt!
The circumstances of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
The Lord Jesus is the Son of God. He willingly became a human being of flesh and blood in order to seek and save the world. The Bible says: “His Lord Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” He loves us and is willing to bear our sins on our behalf.
He accepted the penalty of sin and was crucified on the cross. Sin is so terrible that even the Son of God paid a huge price to atone for man's sin. After his death, a soldier stabbed him with a spear.
Then blood and water flowed out from his side. Modern experts confirmed that this was because the heart burst, so blood and water flowed out. This shows that the Lord Jesus suffered from the pain of being nailed to the cross because he bore the sins of the world.
How amazing! He loves us so much that he is willing to endure all pain for us!
After Jesus was certified dead, his body was taken down, wrapped in linen, and covered with about a hundred pounds of a sticky substance mixed with various spices. Then it was placed in a tomb.
, blocking the entrance to the tomb with a boulder weighing about two tons.
Since the Lord Jesus had publicly declared before His death that He would be resurrected on the third day after His death, the people who persecuted Jesus at that time, in order to prevent His disciples from stealing the body and falsely claiming that Jesus had been resurrected, asked Him to
Lado sent highly trained Roman soldiers to guard the tomb.
On the third day after Jesus died, something unusual happened! All the soldiers guarding him ran away, the big stone was moved away from the entrance of the tomb, and Jesus’ body disappeared! Only the complete shroud and an empty tomb were left. Jesus
After his resurrection, he appeared to more than 500 people. He completely changed the disciples who had been scattered because of fear of death. They became as brave as lions. Although they were killed, exiled, and persecuted, they still preached the resurrection of Jesus everywhere without fear of death.
Christians who have no power at all rely on the resurrected Savior to stand firm in the storm. To this day, countless people's lives have been gloriously changed because of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ!
Proof of the resurrection of Jesus - the fact that the tomb of Jesus is empty is an undoubted historical fact. Up to now, there is no documentary evidence or archaeological discovery that can overturn the fact that the tomb of Jesus is empty. Since the first century
So far, many people have proposed explanations for the empty tomb in an attempt to hide the truth about Jesus' resurrection. But the more they explain the reasons for the empty tomb, the more flaws they reveal, making us more confident that the resurrection is a universal fact. Let's
Let us also look at the explanations for the empty tomb, and it is not difficult to find that the best and most complete explanation for the "empty tomb" is that Jesus truly rose from the dead!
Some people say that the disciples stole the body while the soldiers guarding the tomb were sleeping. Originally this was a very straightforward idea, but if we think about it carefully, we can find many loopholes. First, Jesus was arrested
and being crucified on the cross made the disciples who followed him feel depressed and cowardly. It is really difficult to explain why they suddenly became so brave and even went to steal the body in a heavily guarded situation. Furthermore, if the Roman soldiers were in
Sleeping on duty or leaving without permission will be punished by death. It is difficult for us to imagine that a team of soldiers who have been strictly trained in military discipline will fall asleep at the same time while performing their duties. In addition, we must know that stealing corpses is not a small task.
When the large stone blocking the tomb door is pushed open, a loud noise will be made, which will wake up the soldiers even if they are asleep.
Also, if Jesus was not really resurrected, but the disciples stole the body and fabricated the resurrection story, wouldn’t they be big fools? Remember that when they preached the gospel everywhere, they risked their lives to witness that Jesus had been resurrected. If the stolen body and the
I believe no one would be so stupid as to sacrifice his life for the lies he made up. It can be seen that the story of stealing the body is not credible.
Another explanation for the empty tomb is that Jewish leaders or Roman officials removed the body of Jesus. This statement is even more questionable. If the opponents of Jesus collected the body, then when the disciples preached the resurrection in Jerusalem
message, why didn’t those Roman leaders stand up and clarify the facts?
If it was really them who took away the body, why didn't they reveal the location where it was buried?
Why didn't they take out the body and put it on a carriage and circle the city to put it in perspective? Since they sent troops to guard the tomb, why did they remove the body? Therefore, the theory of stealing the body is difficult to establish and unconvincing.
Another theory is that you were looking for the wrong tomb. The first people to find the empty tomb were a group of women. Some people think that because they were grieving excessively and the morning light was dim, the women went the wrong way. As a result, they found the wrong tomb and saw a
The empty tomb is like Jesus being resurrected and spreading everywhere. This explanation simply cannot stand the test. If these women identified the wrong tomb, why didn’t those who were hostile to Jesus point out to the crowd the correct place where Jesus’ body was buried? Furthermore,
Could it be that the disciples who went to the cemetery later also found the wrong tomb?
In the 18th century, someone put forward another new theory, that is, Jesus did not really die, he just fell into a coma due to a large amount of blood loss. In the cold tomb, he gradually woke up, walked out of the tomb, appeared to the disciples, and claimed that he
Resurrection from the dead.
Let us assume for the moment that Jesus did not die despite heavy bleeding, having his hands and feet pierced by nails, and his side being stabbed with a sharp spear. But we can believe that he could still survive in a dark cave without anyone to take care of him and without the supply of water and food.
Can he survive? Don't forget, his body was wrapped in a hundred pounds of spices and shrouds. Did he have the strength to untie the shroud? Can his injured hands, feet and body move the heavy stones? Even if he
Can he walk out of the tomb and subdue a group of fierce guards? Can he still walk several miles to appear to the disciples? Obviously, isn't it harder to believe this than to believe in the resurrection of Jesus?
After looking at various explanations for the empty tomb, we can only come to one conclusion: the historical records about the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his death are ironclad facts, and this is also the most reasonable explanation for the empty tomb.
There are many things in the world that cannot be explained clearly. If you have a choice, Tomato would rather believe that God exists in this world. Only in this way will the world be more beautiful. Well, let’s get to the story of Jesus. The following story
"Black Halloween" is about to kick off, and in this episode there will be a mysterious black package that puzzles everyone. What exactly is it, why does it reappear in the world, and what will all this be?
