Due to sin, there was a need for Jesus. He came to deal with the inward issue of sin. He was prophesied to come to deal with sin (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 53). Muhammad only made sin worse as he was a sinner.<\/p>\n
Jesus worked miracles to prove His words were from God, and they were many, including His prophecies about His own death and resurrection in three days (Acts 2:22; John 20:30-31; Romans 1:4). Muhammad worked no miracles and could not rise from the dead. Jesus fulfilled prophecy and talked like He had the power to give eternal life. Muhammad could not talk like Jesus.<\/p>\n
We need a living, risen savior, not a dead man who only spread more death. The difference is clear! I believe in Jesus! What about you? Today is the Lord’s day! Assemble with His people if you believe!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
