What is unique about Jesus that I should follow him?

a) Prophecies about Jesus -

No person has had more prophecies written about them and actually fulfilled them.
Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies during his life time.


Mathematical scholars say that 1 person fulfilling 8 prophecies: 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 1 person fulfilling 48 prophecies: 1 chance in 10 to the 157th power 1 person fulfilling 300+ prophecies: Only Jesus!

b) He preached with authority and power -

He performed miracles and he gave answers to various questions and aspects of life. Christianity is the only religion which boasts of a risen Saviour.

He provided a solution for the problem of sin.

We cannot earn the forgiveness of God, salvation is the grace and gift of God which one receives by faith.

Every other religion is based on earning your salvation , do so and so only then you can be saved and go to heaven . God is infinitely greater than us and we cannot pay the ransom for our sins.


c) Jesus was sinless:


Every other religious leader admittedly lived a sinful life.


Will you follow someone who is just like you or someone who is different from you and unique and worth following?



Joseph Smith , the founder of Mormonism, made several prophecies which never came to pass


Example: Wind up in 56 Years "[T]he coming of the Lord, which is nigh-even fifty-six years should wind up the scene."


Critic Richard Abanes claims this prophecy was not fulfilled because the Second Coming of Jesus did not happen within 56 years of the statement.

Resurrection


1 Corinthians 1:18


For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.



1 Corinthians 15:12-19


12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?



13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:



14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.



15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.



16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:



17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.



18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.



19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.





Some say that Jesus didn't really die but it looked like he died, the fault in this is that the soldiers who perform crucifixion and executions know when a person is dead and when a person is still barely alive, they were skilled in what they did.



Some say that the disciples stole the body of Jesus, the fault in this is the that Bible says that the disciples left Jesus when he was caught and crucified so this shows their weakness and that they had no courage.
So, how can these people all of the sudden get the courage to steal the body from Roman soldiers who were attentive and strict in their performing their duties.
