From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Jesus lived a perfect life. Those who schemed to bring him to trial had to obtain false witnesses to bring charges, because he was blameless. “In Him there is no sin” (1 John 3:5).

There was also evidence of His power—power that only comes from God. He had power over sickness and disease. His miracles were a witness to the fact that He is Lord of all nature. “Even the winds and the sea obey Him” (Matthew 8:27).

There was the evidence of fulfilled prophecy. Countless details of His life were foretold by the prophets, and in every instance these prophecies were fulfilled. “In the volume of the book it is written of Me—to do Your will, O God” (Hebrews 10:7).

There was the evidence of His resurrection from the dead. The founders of the various non-Christian religions of the world have lived, died and been buried. But Christ is alive! His resurrection is a fact! His tomb is empty! “He is risen” (Matthew 28:6).

And to add to this pool of evidence are the millions of changed lives down through the centuries. Christ drew a rainbow of hope around the shoulders of men, women and children and gave them something to live for. If Christ had not come, this world would indeed be a hopeless world. There would be no access to God and no forgiveness of sin. Is He your Savior?

Christ alone has the power to change the human heart. Believe Him and follow Him. If you still doubt, ask Him to give you the faith to believe. The Bible says, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17).
