Early Witnesses Of Christ
Who is Josephus?
Josephus was a 1st-century Jewish historian, priest, and aristocrat born in Jerusalem around 37 AD, four years after the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. He is known for his works, including "The Jewish War" and "Antiquities of the Jews", which provide valuable information on the history of the Jewish people and the Roman Empire during that period.

Yes, Josephus mentions Jesus twice in his work "Antiquities of the Jews", written around 93-94 CE. Although the mentions are brief, they are significant as they provide external evidence of Jesus' existence from a non-Christian source.
Early Witnesses and Teachers of Jesus after His Death
The earliest apostles believed that Jesus died for sins, was raised from the dead, and appeared to people soon after his death. One of the key figures who knew of Jesus after his death is Paul, who wrote the first gospel in Rome after his own death. Additionally, Polycarp, a disciple of John, affirmed that Jesus lived and died in his letter to the Philippians AD 110-140. Polycarp was said to have been a student of John, one of Jesus' twelve apostles.
It is also worth noting that more than 500 people claimed to have seen Jesus alive again after his crucifixion. While the accounts of these witnesses are not contemporary, they provide valuable insights into the early Christian community's beliefs about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

In essence, Jesus' message is about the Kingdom of God, which is not a physical place but a divine blueprint for humanity's happiness, redemption, and salvation. This message is the core of his teachings, and it is what he came to earth to preach.
