Do not Contain everything Jesus did

(John 21:25) Jesus did many other things as well. If every

one of them were written down, I suppose that even the

whole world would not have room for the books that

would be written. (NIV)

(John 20:3

did many other

mirac

sign

sinthe presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this

book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus

is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you

may have life in his name. (NIV)

Summary

The OLD TESTAMENT emphasizes thehistory of one nation Israel

This nation is emphasized because it was

one man from that nation, that would oneday change the world

The Coming of Jesus Christ is theCENTRAL EVENT IN ALL OF HUMAN

HISTORY

40/41

Jesus Christ is more than a historical

figure

The Evidence presented in the

Bible proves that ..

claims of the Bible?
