Whats the point of following someone who died 2,000 years ago?
Christians do not look upon Jesus as a dead historical character — similar to someone like Julius Caesar or Napoleon. The central belief of Christians is that after his death by crucifixion, Jesus was raised to life by God, his Father. So it is not accurate to say that Christians follow someone who died 2.000 years ago. Christians believe that Jesus is alive now and through his Spirit still has an influence on the lives of his friends and followers, Over the last 2,000 years millions of people have experienced the living presence of Jesus, and they have discovered the point of following him by experiencing the difference he makes to their lives.
