Our anxious world needs to know the peace of Jesus. His great love for each<\/em> of us. His desire to walk daily with each<\/em> of us, to buoy us with joy, strength, and wisdom. We’re not in this alone!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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.
\nThis 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<\/em> in “blind faith,” as skeptics suggest, but vetted historical fact<\/em>. 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.<\/p>\n
