Reasons to Believe Jesus’ Message Is from God (Apologetics for Teens Part 7)

How do we know Jesus' message really was from God? There are various pieces of evidence that can support this conclusion. Jesus is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, moral teachers. According to the historical sources we have about Him, Jesus seems to have lived up to the moral standards He taught. Jesus is one of the most, if not the most, influential persons in all of world history, and He accomplished this by merely being a poor, itinerant teacher for three years. Jesus also fulfilled many prophecies about a coming Messiah which we can confirm were written hundreds of years before He lived. Two of the most notable of these are the Messianic prophecies from Daniel 9 and Isaiah 53. Finally, Jesus did miracles, including being resurrected from the dead. That is probably the strongest piece of evidence for thinking Jesus' message came from God, since He could do miracles to validate His claim to have a message from God.
