“Eyewitness
News!”
With
the Christmas season in our rear-view mirrors, God has once again reminded me
of the authenticity of the Gospel authors.
Matthew
is the name given to Levi the tax collector. Tax collectors were working for
those who had conquered and oppressed the people of God. In other words, Matthew
had flipped and gone to the dark side.
But
Jesus flipped him back to the good side. Matthew traveled with Jesus and his
itinerant ministry team for three years, was an eyewitness to all that
occurred, and wrote down exactly what he saw.
Courts-of-law
love eyewitnesses. If someone can say, “I saw it all; I watched the crime being
committed; I saw him do it!,” the prosecutor gets giddy and the judge smiles
because he knows the trial is almost over. The criminal should start filling
out change-of-address forms. It’s almost impossible to argue against an
eyewitness.
Which
brings me to the final point: Skeptics can tell you they don’t believe in God,
but they can’t prove why they’re right. Skeptics have no evidence, but
believers have eyewitnesses.
