The Divinity of Jesus - Why Do Christians Hold This View? Dating all the way back to the first century, Christians have regarded Jesus as not only human but also divine. Jesus himself laid claim to divinity, but why did the early Christians believe him? What evidence is there to support his claim? Here are four areas of evidence Christians look to as support for Jesus’ claim to divinity. 1. The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. There were literally hundreds of prophecies, written centuries before Jesus was born, that were fulfilled in the person of Jesus. These were not just vague prophecies; they were specific prophecies about the Jewish Messiah: that he would be born of a virgin, in the town of Bethlehem, of the tribe of Judah, from the house of David. His birth would be announced by angels, he would cleanse the Temple, he would be betrayed for a precise amount of money, and he would be executed at a specific time in a specific way. Centuries before crucifixion was first implemented by the Romans as a form of execution, the Old Testament prophecies painted a picture of how Jesus
would die. 2. Jesus’ supernatural miracles. The miracles of Jesus as recorded in the four New Testament gospels went beyond the ability of any illusionist. People who had been blind, crippled, or deaf were suddenly able to see, walk, and hear. People who had died were brought back to life. Lepers were made well, water was turned into wine, and a young boy’s bag lunch was used to feed thousands. Even extra-biblical sources recognize that Jesus was regarded as a miracle worker. For example, the Jewish Talmud, which is skeptical toward Jesus, acknowledges that Jesus dealt in the supernatural.

professor and thinker C. S. Lewis observed, if you read through the New Testament and consider what Jesus taught, you have to either accept what He said as the words of God or discard them as the ramblings of a madman. The power and the timeless wisdom of Jesus’ words lend credibility to his claims of divinity.
4. The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. If the Resurrection really happened, then it is the greatest evidence of all for the divinity of Jesus. Christian apologists such as Ravi Zacharias, Lee Strobel and William Lane Craig identify a variety of arguments in favor of believing in the resurrection. They point to evidence such as the preponderance of the early eyewitness ac3.
