Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

Dealing with Doubts - Jesus, You, and Experiential Evidence, Part 1


Listen Later

If someone asked you: “How do you know Jesus actually lived?” or “Can we really trust the Bible?” what would you say? In this program, guest teacher John Dickerson will address these questions. He is going to unpack the evidence for Christianity and highlight notable Christians from history who changed our world.

Main Points
Three basic evidence categories to know that Jesus' radical claims are true:
  1. ANCIENT evidence – historical writers (Josephus, Suetonius, Tacitus, etc.)
  2. EXTERNAL evidence – an objective human record of Christ’s impact on humanity.
  3. INTERNAL evidence – this is evidence that can only be known through experience.
  4. The power of “currents”
    • In life we get carried along by different currents: Popularity, achievement, material possessions, relationships
    • These currents while alluring and momentarily satisfying, are actually taking us into anxiety and we can’t get out.
    • You’ll never know for sure if the ‘current’ of Jesus will carry you to fulfillment unless you get into it.
    • The “current” available to everyone: John 3:16
      • This “current” is the only one that brings salvation to anyone who believes.
      • Jeremiah 29:13
      • Matthew 11:28
      • The fulfillment of Jesus is found in the space between religion and relationship.
