More Than Just a Story - the Book of JohnNäide

People took notice as Jesus was preaching in the Temple. He was a main topic of conversation. The Jewish leaders and the crowds of people were paying close attention to what He said and to the miracles that He performed.

In verse 31, it says that many believed in Him. Did you happen to notice their rationale? While others were arguing about where He grew up and how He came onto the scene, those who decided to believe in Him simply looked at the facts. They said, "He has done enough!"

Has He done enough for the people of today to believe? A better question might be: Do the people of today really consider the facts when making a decision about Jesus?

Here are the facts: the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus fulfill over 300 prophecies about the Son of God, the Messiah, the Savior. If you love math, consider this: the mathematical probability of Jesus fulfilling just 8 of the 300 prophecies is 1 in 100 quadrillion (that's a 1 followed by 17 zeros). Jesus fulfilled over 300.

He has done enough for me. How about you?

Joshua 24:15 says: "As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord."

Thoughts to consider:

1. Do we know enough of the facts to present them in a reasonable fashion?
2. Is there someone God wants us to present the facts to?
