How Do We Know | Who Is Jesus
When it comes to KNOWING God, does it really just come down to:
The BIBLE tells us so.
Is Matthew, Mark Luke OR John a RELIABLE account of ACTUAL events?
- Event: RESURRECTION
- Movement: The WAY
- Documented: BEFORE 70 AD
- The Bible: ASSEMBLED
Luke became a follower of Jesus by hearing about the TESTIMONY of Jesus through other people.
Luke 1:1-4 (pg. 1,587)
v.1: “For as much as MANY have undertaken to draw up an ACCOUNT of the THINGS that have been FULFILLED, among US.”
v.2: “JUST AS they were handed down to us by those who from the first, were EYE WITNESSES and servants of the word.”
Something extraordinarily GOOD had happened.
v.3: “With this in mind, since I myself have CAREFULLY INVESTIGATED everything from the BEGINNING. I too decided to write an orderly account for YOU, most excellent Theophilus so you may know the CERTAINTY of the things you have been TAUGHT.”
Luke’s account was included in the Bible because:
- The DETAILS the document contains: The EVIDENCE of who wrote the document.
- WHEN the document was written: What is RECORDED about Jesus.
One of history’s greatest ironies: The empire that crucified Jesus, FINANCED the ASSEMBLY of the very first Bibles.
