CREDENTIALS OF JESUS: THE APOSTLES' TESTIMONY
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Credentials Of Jesus
a) When someone expects our trust, we look for credentials. What entitles that person to our trust? What testimony is there that this person should be believed? This applies to our faith in Jesus. He has credentials. He is not without testimony that he is truly whom he claims to be.
2. The Apostles’ Testimony
a) Finally we have the testimony of several apostles who propagated the facts about Jesus throughout the whole world. They devoted their lives to this task for no personal gain. Peter was convinced (Matthew 16:13-17, John 6:66-69). Thomas was convinced (John 20:24-29). John was convinced (1 John 1:1-4). Paul was convinced (Acts 9:17-22). The records and letters that some of the apostles left behind, provide us with the sound basis for their conviction, and are a major support to the credentials of Jesus.
