Bible - What it says about Jesus
and
Jesus - What is said about him in Bible
JOH 7:17 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.
What ever Jesus said is gods words. Most of them are beyond human wisdom. They are not self-contradicting and non of them ever are out dated, it means they are still the path descriptions/guide lines in all of our day to day life. Every thing he said he believed and showed us practically by being an example himself.
Resurrection
1CO 15:12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?1CO 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:1CO 15:14 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.1CO 15:15 Yea, we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.1CO 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:1CO 15:17 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.1CO 15:18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.1CO 15:19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
You may ask was Jesus really raised from dead ?
Yeah ! Its really questionable. But what else is true about if it is not ? He said every thing of what is to happen before it happened. And so he said this and you may think its just an other story interweaved into an Epic - The Bible.
Ok ! Think about this :
What if Jesus is not raised from dead but its an other story ?
The faith is all false and the Scriptures are all lies and just stories and predictions.
So, may the word about God is also false.
So, our creation is also false.
So, we are false.
Do you know who we are ?
We are not what we physically are but our faith in God.
Because it is the only thing that lead us through the tough times of our life.
May be most of you know this, when we are at the verge of our wits end but we are desperate, we believe in some thing - the thing that gives you hope out of no real reason but your instincts. It is because it is with in the comprehension of your wisdom beyond reason. And this is about material possibilities. But the real question comes when you think about spiritual possibilities. There is no way you can comprehend things there with out the wisdom and the wisdom comes from the one who know or our personal experience. But a personal experience comes only when you go through the situation - may be you have to sin - degrade to that hopeless situation where you loose your spirit, to know what is what in spiritual world. Instead God gave us his word in the form of Bible and with out belief - called Faith at spiritual level - we can’t know the truth and so never be saved.
For example, when Socrates said earth is not flat but it’s a sphere shaped, the people then stoned him to death. And he didn’t said that having seen the earth as our present scientists do or he didn’t travel around the globe or he didn’t have had any evidences or scriptures to stand by it so sternly facing death that is so painful. It is just relaying on some instincts which we call now facts - as we believe ( if we don’t know they are instincts and we know them consciously they are facts ) - did he fought against the whole world. So, it’s the belief and so is the faith. If you have faith you stand by it taking the glorious end and world see the God through you.
And also you know God is all powerful and all known and so can resurrect dead. And if he didn’t do this to his son who abide by his word and whom he promised, he don’t do this anyone else. And us believing in his word is nothing but believing in hypocrisy is Divine.
Prediction
MT 27:62 Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,MT 27:63 saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.MT 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.MT 27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it [as] sure as ye can.MT 27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
Hey ! Lets wait ! Is the prediction about his resurrection true ? Did Jesus really said of it ? Yeah ! The above scripture say that. And not only in scriptures was it said but also it has historical evidences. Did you know what ? If we doubt the scriptures here we have to think about only possibility of Bible survived is the people then were so dumb they just don’t know what they are accepting.
They know this guy who been with them and believe that he said to them some thing he didn’t say and they know it.
Don’t you think this will be the most incredible thing ever to hear off ?
So, now we believe in resurrection and its prediction.
The Death
JOH 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.JOH 19:32 The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:JOH 19:33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:JOH 19:34 howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.
Now, Is Jesus really dead in the first place ? Or been taken to the tomb live so that he just got up when he got the consciousness and escaped out of it or just left by the soldiers to go with all the wounds.
He will not be found with healed bruises in just three days - actually we come to this later because we have to answer a lot of questions like :
Is he dead ?
If dead, is it Jesus ?
.
Wrong Tomb
JOH 19:38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.JOH 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.JOH 19:40 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.JOH 19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid.JOH 19:42 There then because of the Jews` Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.
A body was laid in a tomb that was not used before, known. So, some one was dead and his body was entombed in a cave. And so Jesus is dead. Is it Jesus ? We don’t know yet, but there is a particular tomb that is easily identified or distinguished. So the body was entombed in a cave of no confusion.
Empty Tomb
MT 28:11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.MT 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,MT 28:13 saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.MT 28:14 And if this come to the governor`s ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care.MT 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, [and continueth] until this day.
Hey if you believe that Bible is true, and so the history, you will clearly understand that here the Chief Priest is clearly trying to falsify a truth, And the truth is Jesus body was missing from the truth out of no known reason that could prove Jesus is wrong. And it was proved that it was not the wrong tomb but the same cave where Jesus was entombed which is found empty.
Stolen Body
JOH 20:19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.JOH 20:20 And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.JOH 20:21 Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.JOH 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:JOH 20:23 whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.JOH 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.JOH 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.JOH 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.JOH 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.JOH 20:28 Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.JOH 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
AC 4:12 And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.AC 4:13 Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
1CO 15:1 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,1CO 15:2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.1CO 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;1CO 15:4 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;1CO 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;1CO 15:6 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
AC 26:24 And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad.AC 26:25 But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.AC 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner.AC 26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.AC 26:28 And Agrippa [said] unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian.AC 26:29 And Paul [said], I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.
So, it says the disciples were hiding and afraid of Jews and if they have stolen the body they needn’t to be afraid. They can just go out and do be the Chief Priests whom every one just treat like king.
And if you think they may be kinda made stories, just ordinary men (fishermen) can’t just speak out so boldly and courageously and all that scholarly and with that wisdom.
And don’t give their life for sheer sake of nothing and stand by the word if they haven’t witnesses the truth.
Five hundred people don’t lie all alike about the same person and same thing.
So, whom of are we talking all the time ?
Some one who is crucified and dead and entombed in a cave that was found empty after of no evidence and the body is being taken care of, surveilled of and you know - can’t be some one other than Jesus.
So, it is obvious now that Jesus was crucified and resurrected from death.
