Outrageous claims

One of the over-the-top things Jesus claimed for himself was a crazy prophecy that he would suffer and die and then three days later come back to life again. As far as I know, no other religious leader has been able to make such a claim and be taken seriously.

In fact, during his 3 years of teaching and healing, Jesus wasn't either. Even the people who followed him around, didn't understand what he was saying.

But since that short period of time in the Middle East two thousand years ago, millions of people have been persuaded that Jesus really did everything he said he would, including springing back to life, after being dead three days.
