Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, ye
both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not
come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye
know not.
But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent
me.
Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on
him, because his hour was not yet come.
And MANY of the PEOPLE BELIEVED ON HIM,
and said, when Christ cometh, will he do more miracles
than these which this man hath done?
John 7:28-31

2. Many people believe in Jesus because of His miracles.
He had miracles in every department.
He was a healer in the eye department – Blind Bartimaeus
He was a healer in the gynaecology department – the woman
with the issue of blood.
He was a healer in the ear, nose and throat department – the
deaf and dumb boy.
He was a healer in the orthopaedics department – the lame
man who was lowered from the roof.
He was a healer in the paediatric department – the
Syrophoenician woman’s child.
He was a healer in the pathology department –
a. Jairus’ Daughter: freshly dead
b. Widow of Nain’s son: on the way to the cemetery
c. Lazarus: dead for 4 days and buried

3. Many people believe in Jesus because He rose from
the dead. People want to follow a living person and
not a dead person.
We know that Jesus rose from the dead because He was seen
by His disciples after He rose from the dead.
We know that Jesus rose from the dead because He was seen
by over five hundred people when He rose from the dead.
Why Many People Believe in Jesus Christ

We know that Jesus rose from the dead because His disciples
were transformed after seeing their living Saviour.
The Girl Who Followed the Living Husband
There was a certain lady who was only 26 years old when her
husband died suddenly. She was very sad and cried everyday. At
the funeral I took her to see her husband’s body. When she saw
her husband’s body she was terrified because it had changed so
much.

Two years later, she came to introduce to me a young man who
wanted to marry her. I accepted him and he married her and took
her to Europe. On their wedding day, I saw this lady wearing a
white dress. She was looking beautiful. She came to my office to
see me with her husband. As she left I remembered something.
Do you want to know what I remembered? I remembered the
dead body that she was crying over. She certainly did not want
to follow her dead husband.
This made me realize that no one wants to follow a dead
person. Everybody wants to follow a living person. This is why
many people believe in Jesus, because He is alive. People do not
want to follow a dead leader or a dead saviour.

4. Many people believe in Jesus because of His blood.
Jesus Christ took away the sins of the whole world. He died
and went to hell and rose from the dead for us.
Jesus Christ went to hell. He took the keys of hell and
opened the doors of all the prisons. It took Him three days to
open the prisons and set free all the Chinese, all the Germans,
all the Nigerians, all the Ghanaians, all the Americans, all the
Australians, all the Koreans, all the Indians – everybody! Jesus
Christ then went to Heaven and presented His blood.

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter 1:18-19
