There were only a few at the cross' foot to see Jesus die and mainly John gave testimony. So how reliable is the testimony of John? A fair question given the import and the many who say He never died. The testimony of John is surely as reliable on what we cannot personally attest to - like Jesus actually dying in front of human eyes - as it is about things we can attest to. Think of the promises Jesus gave that are fulfilled as people love Him and serve Him. The promise of being honored by God. Of God and Jesus making themselves known and dwelling among such disciples - Emanuel - God with us. Of answers to prayer in His name. Of miracles greater than those He did. To those who receive the fulfillments of these promises and live real life by Jesus the testimony is verified so yes, we believe Jesus did die and died for you too.
