Affirming Evidence from Archaeology

John’s Life and Ministry

John the Baptist, God’s first prophet to Israel after the close of the Old Testament by some 400 years, had a unique ministry. As the Scripture says, “And it is he who will go out a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah…so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord” (Luke 1:17). Consistent with that calling, John preached a baptism of repentance (Matthew 3:2,6) as preparation for salvation through faith in Jesus. This convicting message was welcomed by the humbler commoners but was rejected by the proud Pharisees and lawyers (Luke 7:29-30). Apparently not much has changed in the 2,000 years since!

The Evidence of Archaeology

Years ago, an objection by critics of the Christian faith was that there was no evidence that Jesus ever lived. Today that position is simply untenable. Historical research scholar, Dr. Edwin Yamauchi, already in the late twentieth century set the record straight on this: “From time to time some people have tried to deny the existence of Jesus, but this is really a lost cause…There is overwhelming evidence that Jesus did exist…” (Quoted in The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel, p.81). The following posts contain some of the recent evidence from archaeological discoveries, which both affirms the historicity of the Gospels and gives us the joy of walking “In the Footsteps of Jesus.”

Here’s a chance to take advantage of some of what is happening at FaithSearch International.
