Why Jesus?

On an April Friday AD 33 on a hill outside Jerusalem, the Romans crucified a Galilean rabbi.
His resurrection three days later.
His numerous sightings over the next forty days witnessed by up to 600 people laid the foundations for Christianity which now, almost 2000 years after he died and was resurrected Billions of followers put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the only spiritual leader the world has ever seen who started with the answer
John 3:16-17 ESV
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world be saved through him.
Hundreds of years before his birth, prophets predicted his coming. The Old Testament, written by many people over 1,500 years, contains over 300 such prophecies. All of these came true.
His miraculous birth, his sinless life, his many miracles, his very detailed death and subsequent resurrection, his ascent to heaven
Whatever people think of him, a great teacher, a prophet or some say a madman and a liar. Billions hail him as Savior
Jesus Christ is unique. His ministry on earth lasted just three years. There was no media courage about him! No 24/7 news bulletins. Yet nearly 2000 years later his influence is still at the forefront of humanity!
Why Jesus? Do YOU know him? If you were to die tonight, where would you spend eternity?
Your life now and for all eternity is affected by your answer
