What if I was to tell you that the American war of independence, also known as the Revolutionary War, was a myth? It was a complete falsehood; it never happened. We just magically gained our independence because King George III thought the colonies were too far away. It would be too much of a hassle for him to run more than one country. Hopefully you would be quick to call me out as being a liar that lacks the knowledge of truth on our American History.


What if I was to tell you that there are people out there that truly believe that “Jesus Christ, the Son of God” ( Mark 1:1) is a complete falsehood? He’s a myth; a fictional character. He’s just another fairytale bedtime story. Would we be quick to correct that person that believes Christ to be a fairytale, like you would correct me if I told you the revolutionary war didn’t happen?


What evidences do we have to prove that the revolutionary war and Jesus Christ exist? There was nobody alive then that took pictures to prove any of this actually happened. So what leaves us to believe that any of this is true in the first place? Simple faith, through the witnesses that experienced what was factually happening in the moment. We have handwritten truths to turn to. America has everything our founding fathers have written about the trials to gain our freedom and independence. But the world, every being that has ever and will ever live has the hand written book of God. Written by God through man.


Just like the founding fathers were ready to give up their lives for America, the Son of God , his disciples, and many others were willing and did give up their lives for Jesus. Men aren’t willing to die for something that isn’t absolute.
In Mark 1:1-8 we read about John the Baptist a witness and also a messenger of truth (Mark 1:2). He both fulfilled prophecy according to Mal. 3:1 and Isa. 40:3, and was killed for his faithfulness in spreading God’s Word and love for the Son of God. Out of all the thousands upon thousands that witnessed Jesus, John the Baptist may be one of the most humble and faithful witnesses. He preached Jesus’s coming in Mark 1:7 telling us of how unworthy he is to even unstrap his shoes. John put himself even below the slaves of that day that would’ve taken the shoes off their owners feet. Even John knows he’s not worthy to be in the presence of the Lord Jesus. People don’t act this way when something does not exist.


One evangelist, that I am always reading or listening to, will ask someone he’s witnessing to a simple question. He asks if there’s any proof of Gods existence? Usually he doesn’t get an answer. Then he will ask, “How do you know that the building exists? Or how do you know that the painting exists? Because, with buildings you have proof that there was a builder and paintings you have proof that there was a painter. They just don’t pop up out of thin air. So creation is proof of a creator. Creation is a picture of Gods handiwork.” -Ray Comfort


Through witnesses and messengers, we can now have faith like John the Baptist. He didn’t see Jesus yet, but he had faith that he was coming. Just because some things can’t be seen, like a virus, doesn’t make it just another fairytale.


“Sweeping across Germany at the end of World War 2, Allied forces searched farms and houses looking for snipers. At one abandoned house, almost a heap of rubble, searchers with flashlights found their way to the basement. There, on the crumbling wall, a victim of the Holocaust had scratched a Star of David. And beneath it, in rough lettering, the message:
“I believe in the sun—even when it does not shine;
I believe in love—even when it is not shown;
I believe in God—even when he does not speak.” -Robert Schuller
