If God Became a Man
Max Patterson
If God became a man, we would expect supernatural
doings. The great miracles of Jesus testify to
this.
If God became a man, we would expect Him to
manifest the love of God. Christ was completely
unselfish. He cared for the sinful, brokenhearted,
the contrite, the despised, the poor. His supreme
act of love is what He did on the cross.
If God became a man, we would expect His
personality to be true humanity. God has shown us
what a true, real man should be like. He has shown
us, as well as told us, what to do.
The character of Jesus is one of the greatest
evidences of His deity that can be given.
I believe Christianity can be verified through the
miracles Christ performed. Would the New Testament
be worth believing without miracles? Miracles
authenticate the message of Christ. Jesus appeals
to His miracles for His true divinity (John 10:24,
37, 38; Luke 7:20-22). These miracles were
performed in the full light of history. Many were
performed before the public eye. Many were
performed in the company of unbelievers. There
were all types of miracles. We have the abundant
testimony of the cured. There is no adequate
evidence contrary to miracles.
I believe Christianity can be verified through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. The
resurrection is the miracle. Despite the
unbeliever's attitude toward this miracle, not one
through the ages has been able to explain it away.
And what about the hundreds of people who saw
Jesus after His resurrection, and on many
different occasions (1 Corinthians 15)? The
testimony is sure and our faith in Christ is
certain.
