text: Jesus was the Son of God. He said himself that "the Father is greater than I" (John 14:28). And God himself spoke from heaven, announcing: "This is my Beloved Son: hear him" (Luke 9:35)\nThat Jesus was real can be seen when you consider the tremendous number of followers who were willing to die because of their belief in him and his teachings. These ones I am talking about would have been alive at the same time as Jesus, or shortly after. So they would have been able to talk with those who walked with Jesus, and saw his miracles. (The Bible says that over 500 people saw Jesus alive after he was killed.)
