There is more evidence for Jesus Christ than there is for Julius Caesar. Yet people don't doubt Caesars existence, so why do they question Jesus' existence?  Here is some evidence for the existence of Julius Caesar: i. “Caesar is responsible for the year as we know it having 365 days, and for the existence of a leap year every four years.” (www.dictionary.com). The Roman month Quintilis, (meaning "fifth month"), in which Caesar was born, was renamed “July” in honour to him.  ii. Caesar was cremated after his brutal murder. His ashes lie in the ruins of the 'Temple of Caesar'. A site many people still go to today, laying flowers and throwing coins on the remaining remnant of rubble at the Roman Forum. Here is sufficient evidence of Caesars life and death. However, the evidence for Jesus' Life, Death and Resurrection is even greater! i.

(Side note: If you are serious about going deeper with Jesus, I'll leave the link to David Pawsons channel below. Genuinely some of the best Christian teaching around.) So... What does Philippians 4:13 really mean? This verse is about being able to live on your income. Paul is writing to say that he knows how to be content with what he has got. He is saying that “I have been able to cope with a little and with a lot, I've coped being well fed and being hungry, and that in ...

When we allow the Holy Spirit to work within us we should see a change in our lives. Our words and actions become deliberately moulded into something more Christ-like, and therefore pleasing to God as they glorify Him. The Bible calls it the "fruit of the Spirit." The list of this fruit is found in Galatians 5. “ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ” Today as I was praying before the start of my shift today, that Scripture from Galatians was on my mind. During that time of prayer, this was the prayer that flowed. I hope this can encourage you as it has me today. 😊
