The Truth about Jesus

Two thousand years ago something happened that changed our world. According to ancient written testimonies, a man set foot on our planet—a man who was different from all others. He claimed to be from beyond our world. His name was Jesus. However, some have labeled Jesus a myth—they believe he didn’t exist. Others, like Dan Brown, author of the fictional The Da Vinci Code, argue that the original message about Jesus has been altered and his identity hijacked.
What is the truth? Is there compelling evidence that Jesus was really the unique figure as portrayed in the
New Testament? Or, is he merely a fabricated legend?
In a criminal case, circumstantial evidence often provides sufficient clues for a verdict to be rendered. Yet for that to happen, clues from history must merge together like pieces in a puzzle. When we assemble the historical facts surrounding Jesus Christ, will they form a clear picture of who he really is? Will that picture affirm or negate the New Testament accounts of his deity and resurrection?
