Hosted by Daniel Murphy, author of The Death and Resurrection of Our World, Utopia explores the profound and timeless visions of a renewed world as described in the Bible. Each episode dives deep into scripture, offering reflections and insights on themes of peace, restoration, and divine promise.
In this powerful episode, we explore why Jesus Christ stands utterly alone in history — in His life, death, and resurrection. He wasn't just a good teacher or a moral leader; He is the Son of God, who demonstrated divine power and authority in every step of His earthly ministry.
From walking on water in the middle of a raging storm (Matthew 14:22-33) to casting out demons who trembled in fear at His presence (Mark 5:1-20), Christ revealed that He is no ordinary man — He is God in the flesh (John 1:14).
We discuss:
- Jesus’ miraculous power: healing with a word (Matthew 8:5-13), raising the dead (John 11), and commanding nature itself.
- The reality of spiritual warfare and demonic possession in modern times, especially in regions like the Philippines and India — and how the name of Jesus still sets people free (Luke 10:17).
- The transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9), where Jesus’ divine nature was revealed in blazing glory before witnesses, and God the Father spoke audibly.
- A deep dive into the Shroud of Turin and how it may point to the power of Christ’s resurrection.
- The hundreds of fulfilled prophecies about Jesus, including 65 in His death, burial, and resurrection alone (Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, Zechariah 12:10).
- A powerful testimony of a child healed of deafness through prayer and the laying on of hands (James 5:14-15).
