Evidence Supports the Resurrection

Given the evidence, the resurrection is an irrefutable historical fact.

There are some who are open to Christ. Others desire to find a way to reject Christ and have closed minds. This challenge is often presented by those with closed minds. Some people may ask such a question because they have received some false information or they are just uninformed and have never checked it out.

The fact is that those who desire to reject Christ will reject the resurrection, even though the facts are obvious. They reject Christ for one reason: they love darkness rather than light. God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all.

Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. In fact, He was accused of blasphemy for this claim.

Everyone in the ancient world agreed that the tomb was empty on the first Easter morning, but the enemies of Christ claimed that the disciples had stolen the body, but this was not believable since the disciples lacked both motive and or ability to overcome the guards.

Over 500 eye-witnesses attested to his resurrection. Jesus appeared to them.

Ancient records of Jesus go back so early that they cannot be the product of legends. They were checkable at the time they were written and being evaluated.

The disciples were willing to die for what they knew to be true: the Christ had risen. If they were lying, they would not be willing to die for a lie.

Given those evidences, the resurrection is an irrefutable historical fact.
