Jesus: man, myth or messiah?

Churches around the country will be encouraging people to decide what they believe about Jesus this Easter.

A new website gives people the chance to vote on Jesus: man, myth or messiah?

Launched by ChurchAds.Net, the campaign hopes to help people think about who they believe Jesus is.

ChurchAds.Net said: "Some believe Jesus planned to lead an armed militia to overthrow Caesar, while others insist that he was the son of God.

"His supporters claim he came back to life after his brutal execution, and walked among them, but his opponents say his body was stolen by his friends and remains hidden.

"The ad campaign, consisting of a television advert, a radio advert and a poster, is asking: where do you stand?"

The adverts will appear on local radio, social media and in churches across the UK.

Last year the network made the headlines when their advert depicting the nativity was banned from cinemas.
