Witness of Christ

What is the most important piece of evidence to prove that Jesus is the Son of the Living God?

John 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

The works Jesus spoke of in this verse were the works that He did on a daily basis. He healed the sick, open blind eyes, cleansed lepers, etc. . . He was also talking about the work that was ahead of Him at the time. This work was going to the cross. He didn't go because it was His desire to die, but it was His desire to save man from their sinful ways.

When Jesus' works witness of Him, they show the evidence that He is who He says He is. Many agree that Jesus was a good man and even a great teacher, but in doing so they fail to realize who He really is.

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

This is one of the works that Jesus spoke about. Notice that he didn't say the Father will raise it up in three days. He said, "I will raise it up." This is very profound for someone who is merely a teacher. If many believe Him to only be a great teacher or a good moral man, then they must also believe He was a liar.

Jesus died a death He did not deserve. He was counted among thieves and murderers, yet all that He did was always good. As He hung on the cross He said, "Luke 23:46 Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." Death could not come to Him on its own. Death seeks out all who have sinned, "Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death." In order for Jesus to die, He had to humble Himself and give in to death. He was perfect and, though He was tempted at all points, He never sinned.

Jesus was buried in a garden tomb. A stone was rolled against the entrance of the tomb and sealed with the Roman seal.This was not a small rock that could be picked up and carried by one man. Anyone who was caught breaking the seal was put to death by Crucifixion. Remember how all Jesus’ disciples ran when he was arrested.

The stone would have weighed between 1,500 and 2000 pounds. Not an easy object to move around. Guards were placed at the tomb. These were trained guards who were commanded to kill anyone who attempted to steal the body of Jesus.

Some have said that Jesus wasn't really dead but near death. I am sure this may make sense to some but what doesn't make sense is how He got out of the tomb if He was so near death. Surely He would not be able to move such a huge stone by Himself. You must also remember the guards outside and His disciples were cowards.

I realize that many will refuse the evidence presented here. They want to touch, taste, smell, see with their fleshly eyes, and hear with their fleshly ears. If there is not enough evidence presented, here you can get more evidence yourself. It requires humility to get it.

Simply ask God to reveal Himself to you. Do it with your heart not just to try and prove someone right or another wrong. You must want the proof for yourself just so you will know for sure.
