Did you ever have someone try to convince you that it's just not possible to believe in Christ, or why Christianity isn't real. Did they tell you that it's just not possible for Christ to be "the only way" and that only in our shallow minds could we possibly believe that. How about the book being an old ancient book, written by a bunch of men that wanted to rule the world, or brainwash people? How about arguing with you about what "other books" say? Well, that's why I like this history (below) about Jesus, I encourage you to read it and tell me what you think when you get to the end!
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it. But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”
Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
Acts 4:13-22
I think sometimes ordinary people do supernatural things through Christ and it angers the plans of those with worldly power... you can't explain it, you can't take credit for it, you can simply call it a God Moment.
