The Prophet that lives still

All religions have one or more prophets.  There is also a beginning,  an individual or individuals that start a line of thinking,  a revelation,  a new truth.  So how can you know which is really truth?

Here is a simple difference to consider....   Only one prophet still lives.

Every prophet of every religion is...  Dead.  They were men just like you and I.  They lived,  touched the world,  and died.  Gone.  Only teachings left behind.   Except one...  Jesus.  He IS alive and well as ever,  because he is God.  Death had no power over him.  He is unique.

Others may even claim that "the spirit of the Prophet has / will return"  but no..  Still different.  Jesus is alive IN THE SAME BODY HE WAS IN ORIGINALLY ON Earth.  It's not that his spirit rise,  his BODY rose.  His tomb is empty.   No one else in all of history can make that claim.  No other tomb is empty.

Jesus said himself,  he leaves only one sign that he is the true son of God....  He would die and rise again on the third day.  It is the empty tomb,  and only the empty tomb,  that validates his identity.  When looking at other religions,  other prophets,  ask to see their empty tomb. 

Jesus resurrection was witnessed by hundreds,  perhaps thousands,  soon after.  It is a validated point in history.  And it is still true today.  Jesus is alive today knocking at your door.  Whether you see him physically,  spiritually,  or any other way is up to him and you.  I can tell you that I KNOW he lives.  Zero doubt.  I have met him.   So can you.

One of the best evangelist had a unique method of introducing Jesus to another person...  His approach? 

" jimmy ,  this is Jesus.  Jesus,  meet jimmy" and he walked away.

Jesus isn't a system of rules,  teachings,  truths,  paths,  etc.  Jesus is an individual,  like you and I but also God.  He is alive,  today.  Here.  Now.   THAT is the difference,  the empty tomb.  An eternally empty tomb.
