Why Do Christians Believe That Jesus Was God?

Many people think that Jesus of Nazareth was just a good man, a wise teacher of morals, or even a prophet. But Christians go further, claiming he was God’s own son, stepping into space and time to show us what God was really like. Why do Christians believe this? What’s the evidence that Jesus was more than just another religious teacher? In this packed episode of Short Answers, we tackle arguably the most important question of all: who exactly was Jesus? (If you enjoy this Short Answers video, there are dozens more in the series covering almost every conceivable question).
