Faith in Jesus is not a blind leap, but a reasonable step, as He is unlike any other.

1. Mark 6:1-2
Jesus left there and went to His hometown,
accompanied by His disciples. When the
Sabbath came, He began to teach in the
synagogue, and many who heard Him were
amazed. ‘Where did this man get these
things?’ they asked. ‘What’s this wisdom
that has been given Him, that He even does
miracles!

2. Mark 6:3-4
Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s
son and the brother of James, Joseph,
Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here
with us?’ And they took offense at Him.
Jesus said to them, ‘Only in his hometown,
among his relatives and in his own house is
a prophet without honor.’

3. Mark 6:5-6
He could not do any miracles there, except
lay His hands on a few sick people and heal
them. And He was amazed at their lack of
faith.

4. All religions, except
Christianity, could exist
without their RELIGIOUS
FOUNDERS
Jesus came not simply…as a TEACHER, but as
a SAVIOR to deliver.
Why Jesus? One more for His RESUME is
that He is unlike other leaders.

5. Let’s begin with Jesus’
REFERENCES.
The rabbi disciple relationship required
doing LIFE together.
In no other religion do the followers claim
their founders PERFECT or without SIN.

6. Qualifying past WORK
EXPERIENCES
You cannot OVERESTIMATE the impact and
influence of Jesus on the world.
…MIRACLES impacted individual lives, Jesus’
WORDS changed the world.

7. …the interview is
incomplete without passing
a BACKGROUND check.
The VIRGIN birth is the necessary
background qualifying Jesus to die for our
sins.

8. Faith in Jesus is not a
BLIND leap, but a
REASONABLE step, as He
is unlike any other.
…unless you examine the evidence, without
prejudice, you may dismiss Him as LESS than
He really is
