Proof  of Christ claims - John 20:30-31

Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

1. NT claims – Christ is who He said He was. His words are true. We can trust all of His promises.      

        Mt 16:21; Mt 17:23; Mt 20:19;

Mt 27:63 – chief priests testify of His claim to rise again

Mk 8: 31; 9: 31-32?; 10: 34

Luke 9:22; Luke 13:33; Luke 24:46 

Luke 24:6-7- women at tomb reminded of His words

John 2:19 – The temple will be rebuilt in 3 days

2. OT prophecies – He is the One God promised so we do not need to look for another.
