05.06.2016 New Testament: Luke 24.48

To read the Bible in a year, read Luke 24.36–53 on May 6, In the year of our Lord 2016

By Don Ruhl

How do we know Jesus existed? How do we know He was raised from the dead? As He said to His disciples,

“And you are witnesses of these things” (Luke 24.48).

If you do not believe Jesus of Nazareth existed, read the Gospel Accounts, the New Testament Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Study them carefully. Matthew and John witnessed the entire ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and Mark saw at least some of it, and wrote down the testimony of Peter, and Luke gathered together the accounts of others who had witnessed Jesus.

Questions:

• If you do not believe the Gospel Accounts prove the existence of Jesus, why?
• If you do believe that Jesus existed and that He rose from the dead, how has it changed your life?
