Jesus says, "I told you so!"

Today I'll be talking about evidence for the reliability of the Gospels that also has devotional and pastoral value--the unity of Jesus' personality. I'll be focusing on one aspect of that evidence: Jesus' tendency to predict, to talk about his own predictions, and to say, "I told you so!" This video will provide a sneak preview of some of the content in the new, popular-level book I'm drafting, Testimonies to the Truth: Why You Can Trust the Gospels. A new aspect of "I told you so" Jesus just recently occurred to me, and it is encouraging. If you use my work in something you write or in a sermon, please be sure to cite me! The last chapter of The Eye of the Beholder contains a lot more information on the unified personality of Jesus.

Here is my author page on Facebook. Even if you're not on Facebook you can read my posts there. I've put up two posts this past week there that are a bit "blog like." One of them is on the Temple cleansing, and one of them is on the entanglement of positive evidence for Gospel reliability and "negative" arguments against the literary device views. https://www.facebook.com/lydiamcgrewauthor
