Why Jesus?

-He established authority over the laws of nature, walking on water (Matt. 14:25)

-He controlled the forces of nature, altering weather patterns (Mark 4:39)

-He trumped the laws of physics, multiplying food, turning water into wine, translating his physical body from one place to another, and destroying trees simply by speaking to them (Matt. 15:36; John 2:9; 6:21; Mark 11:13-14,20)

- He demonstrated authority over the animal world, using a fish to collect money needed for a tax (Matt. 17:27)

-He had dominion over disease, healing multitudes (Acts 10:38)

-He even displayed power over death, bringing dead people back to life (John 11:43-44)

-He rose from the dead, physically (1 Cor. 15:35, 39, 42-44)
