Can We Talk About Jesus?

Reading Time: 3 minutesOur anxious world needs to know the peace of Jesus. His great love for each of us. His desire to walk daily with each of us, to buoy us with joy, strength, and wisdom. We’re not in this alone!

So why aren’t we excitedly telling people about Jesus? One reason is because it feels hard to bring Him up, given that the world so stridently asserts that God and the Bible are fiction. Too many Christians haven’t read the Bible with any depth, so they can’t push back the world’s false claims. Yet we should be reading God’s Word, as it answers our big questions about life and what follows after death.

This post is designed to help grow your knowledge of what the Bible says. You’ll find links to many of our previously published blog posts that focus on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. How do we know that Jesus was a real person, and that His disciples and many others interacted with Him after He rose? As you read the posts, you’ll discover that the Christian faith is rooted not in “blind faith,” as skeptics suggest, but vetted historical fact. If we can trust that Jesus is real, we can trust that God and His ceaseless love for us are real, too. That’s Good News! Read on.

“So, why am I a Christian?”

“Because I know I’m a train wreck in a dumpster fire. But I also know that God loves me 100% as is, right now, in the midst of the burning carnage that is often my life. I know that if I were to stack up my cards against most church people, I’d fold every time. I’m not that good at following rules, and I run my mouth a lot. And yet, God loves me and is cheering for me as I get better and especially when I fall down. Where I see failure, He sees opportunity for growth. Where I see addiction, He sees an opportunity to take a step. Where I’ve given up, He whispers, ‘You can make it.’”
