The reliability of the historical record, the credibility of Jesus claims, and the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies verify that Jesus is the Son of God. Most scholars now believe that the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Acts were written prior to 66 A.D. The early Christians immediately claimed that Christ did miracles and was raised from the dead. Yet, no one challenged these claims at the time. The more that people got to know Jesus, the more they marveled at His honesty, His morality, and His integrity. Jesus fulfilled every Old Testament prophesy about the coming messiah. It would be nearly impossible for someone else to accomplish this task. Scientists claim that someone living during Jesus time would have one chance in 10 to the 157th power to repeat the things that He did.
