Logical Evidence Prove TRUTH
Oftentimes, people will ask: “How do you know the one you worship is God?” or “From all the gods that exist, how can you know that Jehovah God is the one true God? There are so many ways to answer these questions:
- Take a walk in God’s amazing creation.
- Listen to the sound of the animals awaken in the early morning.
- Climb a mountain, traversing to the top to see all that the world holds for the eye to see.
- Step down inside a deep cavern to touch the coolness of the depth and see the life that exists.
- Hold a friend in a deep and lasting hug, feeling the love flow out and into one another.
- Sit in silence, listening to the still, peaceful voice of God speak to you.
- Touch the nailed-scarred hands of the Lord Jesus Christ.
After the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, He walked and talked with two individual who were leaving Jerusalem, walking toward Emmaus. He spoke with Cleopas and his wife, asking them questions, explaining Scriptures, and even staying with them in their home for dinner. It was there, when breaking bread and handing it to them that their eyes were opened. Immediately, even though exhausted from a seven-mile journey, this couple rushes back to Jerusalem to tell the disciples.
“While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them,
(The Gospel According to Luke 24: 36-37 NASB)
“Peace be to you.”
But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.”
That’s the most logical conclusion one comes to when he sees a dead man walking and talking. Surely, this is a ghost, a spirit, a figment of my imagination. Surely, my mind is playing tricks. SURELY!
- However, a spirit does not have flesh and blood.
- Nor does a ghost have scars and most definitely not hands that we can touch.
A figment of our imagination cannot make a piece of fish disappear from a plate, as if it’s just been eaten, but that’s exactly what Jesus did when He revealed Himself to his eleven disciples.
“And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
(The Gospel According to Luke 24: 38-43 NASB)
See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself;
touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them,
“Have you anything here to eat?”
They gave Him a piece of broiled fish; and He took it and ate it before them.”
Jesus Christ was not a ghost or a spirit; the Son of God was there, in the flesh.
See the fish; it’s gone from the plate.
- What helps a person believe that Jesus is the One who the Bible proclaims Him to be?
- What must someone experience in order to believe in Jesus as His Savior?
- Can a person become a follower of Jesus without first coming face-to-face with his own sin?
Evidence. Facts. Trust in the Truth. Thoughtful contemplation. The Voice of God’s Holy Spirit speaking Truth to one’s being. These are the revelations someone needs to encounter the Savior Jesus Christ.
In the words of the Old Testament, they remind readers how Moses, God’s chosen leader of the Israelites, walked and followed God to bring them to the Promised Land. It was also Moses who was given the task of writing the Torah, the first five books of the Bible that establish foundational truth for believers, giving the biblical heritage of the children of God.
Before Moses’ death, the LORD led him to speak a song to the children of God. This song came before Joshua led the people to cross the Jordan River, to conquer the people living there, and to take up residence in the land where God promised and gave to His children. This was before the LORD took Moses to the top of Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, where he was shown the Promised Land, and this was before the servant of the LORD died and was buried by God.
- What leads someone to believe in God?
- How can one know that Jesus is the One who the Bible proclaims Him to be?
- What must someone experience in order to believe in Jesus as His Savior?
- How can a person know Jesus Christ is the Messiah sent to bring salvation?
HE AROSE!
HE DIED, YET HE IS ALIVE!
HE WAS CRUCIFIED, DIED ON THE CROSS, WAS BURIED, AND THEN THREE DAYS LATER—AROSE FROM THE DEAD!
- See His hands where the spikes pierced His skin.
- See His hands that take bread and break it into two pieces.
- See His hands that pick up broiled fish to eat.
- See the empty plate where the fish once lay.
- See the empty tomb where the dead body of Jesus once lay.
SEE & BELIEVE!
“See now that I, I am He,
(Deuteronomy 32: 39 NASB)
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,
And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.”
