1. Almighty God proved the existence of himself when His only Son Jesus rose from the dead. Many people saw him die
and entombed. Three days later - under Roman Guard and behind a large bolder - Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to many.
These historical events are the primary proof of God's existence. Jesus is the face of God. 2. Over 2000 years later the Church
proclaims his resurrection. God's Holy Spirit has carried on the message of eternal life through the centuries. Were it not
true the Church would not exist. The Church has also preserved and protected the Word of God known as the Holy Bible. These
sacred scripures contain so many fulfilled prophesies. Only a very hard hearted person cannot admit that many modern day events
[e.g., the regathering of Israel] were foretold long ago in Scripture. 3. Even time itself is identified by the life of Jesus
Christ. Just a short while ago in our official documents we used the words, "In the year of our Lord [Jesus] 2008. In
other words, it is 2008 years since the birth of Jesus. Before Jesus we speak of years like 1000BC. The "BC" means
Before Christ. Thus, 1000BC means 1000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. Therefore, time itself is identified
by whether the event was before or after the birth of Jesus Christ. 4. Many people have found faith in Jesus Christ
through the Shroud of Turin. Recent scientific evidence shows that it is about 2000 years old. Microbes in the fibers of this
shroud [reported to be the burial cloth of Jesus] reveal it's origin as ancient palestine. And, still, modern day science
has no explanation for how the image of a crucified man appeared on the cloth. 5. Many people in these modern times have found
faith in Jesus Christ by studying the Bible Codes. If you were to google "Bible Codes" many excellent books and
articles would appear on the topic. Like everything, however, who the author is can make a big difference. 6. All those who
honestly seek the truth will find it. Those with an open heart and mind also see God in creation. How do you think all of
this matter organized itself to support life. Where did this matter come from? The more anyone studies the delicate balances
of creation the more one understands that we are here by the plan and purpose of God. 7. Miracles: A miracle is
the breaking of the laws of nature. Many miracles still happen in our world. If you were to work in a hospital
you would hear many stories of how someone was sick, how they prayed to Jesus and were healed, and how amazed the doctors
were to confirm that something miraculous happened. These things happen every day somewhere in the United States.
You only need to seek out the truth in order to confirm the frequency of these events. 8. I have much more to write on this topic. You may want to check back soon!
