A historical man named Jesus claimed to be God.
He died on a cross at the hands of the Romans, a historical event.
Many witnesses saw him rise from the dead.
These witness and other earliest followers spread the news of his resurrection, his being God, and his promise to save us, at the expense of their lives. They gained nothing from this except persecution and death.

Makes sense to me! Thank you, Noah …
Hey man, what’s up? Your hands hurt so you can’t type? One of your kids steal your laptop before you could finish? This is like your shortest post ever. You start doing your sermons like this and people in your church are either going to find another one, or give you a raise.:) Purely on a history basis you could have added, Jesus said he would be killed and rise again before it happened. Believing in Jesus makes the most sense once you’ve experienced him, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Freedom now combined with facts in history is a more powerful argument for truth.
hahaha, that is hilarious. Studies show people’s attention spans are getting shorter and shorter so you gotta give the people what they want, you know???
and great addition
