Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285288/fan_mail/new] Discover the compelling evidence for Jesus Christ's divine claims in this examination of one of history's most important questions. When Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, he left humanity with only three logical possibilities, known as the Lewis Trilemma: liar, lunatic, or Lord.

Learn about the powerful testimony found in Mark chapter 3, where even demons recognized Jesus's divine nature. Explore how Jesus's own family initially thought he was mentally unstable, yet his brothers James and Jude later became believers and New Testament authors. Discover how religious leaders accused Jesus of being empowered by Satan, and examine his logical response that exposed the flaws in their reasoning.

Most compelling is the testimony of the disciples, who all chose martyrdom rather than deny what they had witnessed. From Peter's upside-down crucifixion in Rome to Thomas's death in India, these men had every opportunity to abandon Christianity if it were false. The evidence includes biblical prophecy fulfillment, historical documentation, archaeological discoveries, and the transformed lives of millions throughout history.
