I'm not sure if I follow what you're asking.

Are you asking if the person of Jesus who the stories are (loosely) based on existed? In that case, I would say the chances are very good that he did.

Or are you asking if Jesus as described in the Christian bible existed and continues to exist? In that case, it's all a matter of faith, but there's no logical reason to believe that being ever existed.

The historical Jesus and the mythological Jesus are two different entities, and neither needs the other to be viable.
