In the Eternal Life series thus far, we have wrestled with three of the seven questions that every intelligent skeptic should ask themselves about Jesus of Nazareth to try to understand the facts and historical accounts that support the narrative we’ve been told. Admittedly, there are some things that are very difficult to believe and understand on the surface about Christianity and Jesus is the lynchpin and cornerstone of it all. That’s why, in today’s episode, we tackle question four: What evidence is there that Jesus was a deity?

There are two major reasons that someone might believe that Jesus is indeed the son of God and not simply delusional. The first is that He performed miracles, at least 35 of which are recorded in the New Testament, and the second is that He not only fulfilled numerous prophecies but even accurately predicted His own death. At some point, it requires more unfounded realism to believe that Jesus was not the Messiah than it does to believe that He was but take a listen and decide for yourself!

• Why you can’t discredit the existence of miracles just because you’ve never seen one.
• Reasons that you don’t have to be a Christian to believe in the supernatural.
• Accounts of healing and other phenomena that can’t be explained by naturalistic causes.
• Recorded predictions about Jesus’ life, death, and birth that were ultimately fulfilled.
• Perspective on the truly awe-inspiring odds of these prophecies coming true.
