It is difficult to convince them that Jesus the son of God and that Jesus performed miracles and the ultimate miracle that he presented to be raised from the dead. A miracle is an event that supersedes natural power. Miracles cannot be explained in predictable ways. Miracles to Christians can be traced back to the creation times. Wonders can be categorized into different events. A miracle is a discernable fact. Miracles don’t leave a space for argument. They just happen, and there is no reason to deny the miracle that is why those who wanted to oppose miracles performed by Jesus could associate the miracles with different sources. Miracles were done with a positive motive and not for personal gain.

Even though Jesus did some wonders to prove he was the son of God, He was not interested in gaining favor from any many but to propel God’s love towards people. Even the enemies of Christianity agreed that Jesus did miracles even though they agreed in a despising way. The likes of Porphyry and Celsus admitted that Jesus did miracles though they termed them as mere deeds. As a non-believer, my friend cannot have faith in the wonders of Jesus because the kind of miracles performed today does not meet the qualities of miracles. But I will still use other ways to make sure they understand the power of Jesus through miracles, and they will be compelled to trust I wonders and more in the resurrection of Jesus Crist1.

Included in the documentaries is references by James and Jude. The other secondary sources where the resurrection of Jesus can be witnessed is in the books off Mark, Luke, Ignatius, Clement of Rome and Irenaeus. Many people are ready to die for Christ as Christ died for human beings. No one will be ready to die for a mere invention. There are many pieces of evidence that Jesus rose from the dead.
