That Jesus came to this earth 2,000 years ago is an incontrovertible fact of human history. All of human history is measured by that time in which he came. All time before Christ’s coming is referred to as BC or “before Christ.” All time after is referred to as AD in the Latin or “since the coming of Christ.” All four gospel writers — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — document that Jesus came into the world. Matthew and John were eyewitnesses of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. As they wrote their gospel records they wrote as they who personally saw and heard the Lord Jesus. Two other gospel writers — Mark and Luke — researched the matter and interviewed eyewitnesses and recorded their findings. Reliable historians like Josephus and Tacitus documented the coming of Jesus Christ as a genuine historical figure who lived upon this earth. The fact is undeniable that Jesus came into the world. Even other religions acknowledge this fact. The Muslims believe the historical Jesus came. Virtually all acknowledge that Jesus came to this earth 2,000 years ago.
