These are all good questions and have been asked for thousands of years. Consider this man, whom nearly 2000 years after His death, is still the central figure of the human race (see One Solitary Life , author unknown)

Jesus is the Messiah, prophesied by Jewish prophets, who was sent by God to bring salvation to His people. Jesus fulfilled all of the prophecy of the Jewish Messiah, confirming that His is the son of God. When Jesus came to earth He created a new covenant with God's people (Hebrews 8:7-13), by which He is the one and only way to eternal life in God (John 14:6-7).

Two Thousand years after the man named Jesus was nailed to a Roman cross and died, millions and millions of people still worship Him. Jesus did not just die on the cross, but after three days in the tomb, He rose from the dead (Luke 24:6-7). He sent His Holy Spirit to us to counsel and empower our lives with the very presence of God (John 14:16-18). Not only did Jesus rise from the dead, but He lives! He lives, and we can live, and He will live in us (John 14:19-20)! All we are asked, is to believe in Him ... to trust that He loves us, and He wants what is best for us (John 14:12).
