WHAT WERE THE SEVEN PROOFS THAT VERIFY THE SCRIPTURES?
I. JESUS BELIEVED THE SCRIPTURES- Jesus taught, acted, and instructed on the basis that this Book he taught from that he quoted and studied was true. He often said, “Search the Scriptures,” and “have you not read”
A. Who said that?
1. The One Who Created all things Genesis 1:1 and in John 1 it says: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God- the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him- that’s Christ- so the creator of the universe is the One that said that this Book is to be trusted. He’s also-
2. The One Who Stilled Raging Seas Mark 4:39 Now there aren’t many people that talk to the water- that talk to raging storms. But when the creator does they listen. And the One who not only made all things but controls the physical universe that we know- said that this Book you can trust.
3. The One Who Quelled the terror of disease also said that you can trust this Book- Mark 5:34 And she had been bleeding for years and was near death. He quelled the ravages of disease and the One who made everything from nothing and the One who controls every thing and the One who can even speak and disease responds- believed this Book. So if you believe this Book you’re in good company. I’d rather be with God because you and God make a majority.
4. The One Who Halted the grip of death is the One who believed this Book- it says in Luke 8:48-56: You know there are a lot of faith healers in the world- do very many of them go to the morgue and take lifeless, cold corpses by the hand and lift them up and see life course back into their bodies? That’s what Jesus did and Jesus believed this Book and that’s what his apostles did and as we’ll see in a moment they believed this Book.
5. The One Who Calmed fearful hearts- John 6:19-20: So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, -they were 1/3 of the way out into the Sea of Galilee and the storm was so big that the water was tormented- in other words it was going in every direction and just foaming- it was such a violent storm and it was coming into the boat and sinking them- and they were trying their hardest and they weren’t getting anywhere and out of the corner of their eye- they see Jesus walking on the sea, – on a mirror calmness- I mean that would make the hair stand up on the back of our necks- I’ve never seen anybody walk on water. I have seen in my mind through faith- but have never experienced it- and you can see every footstep He put down- just calmed the raging sea- they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. –and that’s lightly speaking- it says they were out of their minds- I mean worse than having a storm outside is to have someone walking on the water and have them get into your boat and it scared them- 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. (KJV) what’s neat is where ever you are and whatever storm and whatever boat you’re in that’s sinking if you just let Jesus in your boat you don’t have to be afraid. Now sometimes he calms the storm, sometimes he just takes you through the storm but the One who can calm troubled hearts believed this Book.
