First-Hand Experience as Proof of Jesus' Existence
One type of proof presented in the podcast is personal experience with Jesus. The speaker emphasizes that individuals who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ have likely had personal experiences with Him, such as truths revealed through reading the Bible, answered prayers, or powerful encounters. These personal experiences serve as evidence of who Jesus is and what He has done in their lives.
First-Hand Accounts as Historical Proof of Jesus
Another type of proof discussed in the podcast is the reliability of the Gospel accounts as eyewitness testimonies of Jesus' life and actions. The speaker recommends a resource called ColdCaseChristianity.com, run by a former cold case homicide detective who became a believer in Christ after examining the first-hand accounts in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These accounts are presented as trustworthy historical evidence that Jesus is the Savior of the world.
JOHN 21:9-14 - When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, âBring some of the fish that you have just caught.â 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, âCome and have breakfast.â Now none of the disciples dared ask him, âWho are you?â They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
