We live in times when fake news abounds and we want to verify the news we receive. Here are four compelling verifying factors for the gospel message:

1. The fulfilment of many ancient prophecies.

2. The large number of first-hand witnesses.

3. The courage of the many witnesses who suffered and died rather than deny Jesus.

4. The supernatural evidence of the hand of God.

Matthew 28:11-15, 1 Corinthians 15:1-6, Isaiah 53:2-11, 1 John 1:1-3
