The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

The resurrection of Christ is a topic that has many various opinions, yet the facts all come down to the truth. There is no possible way that all the events lined up perfectly without a single hinderance, all to be called “false” or a “scam.” With the scriptures, Biblical accountabilities, and historical facts to back it up, we can be assured that the resurrection of Christ was in fact a true period in history. As it says in John 11: 25-26, “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” …show more content…

An interesting fact about Jesus’ tomb to prove the resurrection is that, afterwards, it was never created into a shrine for people to come and see. Usually, in the times of the Bible, when a man dies, a shrine was created in order to exhibit his bones for the people. The fact that Jesus’ tomb was not made into a shrine ultimately concludes that there were no bones to showcase, meaning that he did, in fact, raise from the dead. The people had no remnants of Jesus being in the tomb after his dead, enhancing the fact that he was …show more content…

We read to read their first hand knowledge on the situation, straight from the God-breathed book of the Bible. There is also symbolic evidence in the Last Supper, as this is talking about how Jesus gave up his life and sacrificed everything for us, sinners. There are many sources of evidence found in the Bible that we can read about and gain further knowledge on the resurrection from. Finally, in the Bible, we read about a numerous amount of eye witnesses that could testify for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary as mentioned earlier were the first people who saw the tomb empty. The Roman guards, all the disciples, the two men on the road to Emmaus, and many other witness all saw Jesus alive and well for 40 days after the resurrection had taken place. It is quite unlikely for so many people all the give the same testimony with all the facts adding up to the same

  • The Resurrection Argument

    In the previous two posts, we have gone over the importance of the apostles ' martyrdom for the resurrection argument, as well as a summary of Sean McDowell 's findings concerning their martyrdom. Now the question arises, is this evidence enough? The short answer is, yes. All the resurrection argument requires is that some apostles who claimed to have experiences of the resurrected Jesus were martyred for their faith. The idea is that if the apostles had invented the story of the resurrection they wouldn 't be willing to die for it. If they were martyred then they truly believed that they had experienced encounters of the resurrected Jesus, adding credence to the resurrection argument and disproving the possibility that

Grave robbing was a serious crime punishable by death and it would have taken a team to roll the stone. But Jesus had told his disciples many times that he would rise again on the third day, which they obviously did not comprehend. He spoke to them later on when he appeared to them and to show he was still human said “see my hands and feet, that it is I Myself; handle and see: For a spirit hath not bones and flesh; as you see I have” (Luke 24:39). He shows the apostles the obvious wounds he still has from his crucifixion, and then invites them to touch him, vanquishing thoughts of an apparition.

  • Jesus: The Importance Of The Resurrection Of Jesus

    407 Words  | 1 Pages

    The resurrection of Jesus is a topic in Christian Apologetic that confirms the faith of a believer. Groothuis submits, “Of all the world’s religions Christianity alone purports to be based on the resurrection of its divine founder. No other religion or worldview makes such an audacious and consequential claim. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus himself predicts his own betrayal, death and resurrection.”1 The Bible reveals the importance of the resurrection in Corinthians 15:14-17, “And if Christ wasn’t raised to life, our message is worthless, and so is your faith. If the dead won’t be raised to life, we have told lies about God by saying that he raised Christ to life, when he really did not. So if the dead won’t be raised to life, Christ wasn’t raised to life. Unless Christ was raised to life, your faith is useless, and you are still living in your sins.”

We know the location he was buried and the time span in which it happened.

    When Jesus visited Jerusalem around 29 AD, he found enthusiastic crowds greeting him as the messiah.

While he was hanging awaiting death he forgave those who had killed him and those who had worshipped him the day before were denying him. After his crucifixion he was placed in a tomb, on the third day he rose, and greeted his followers, further convincing them that he was the messiah.

  • An Analysis Of Jesus Resurrection From The Dead

    1568 Words  | 4 Pages

    In this paper, I will examine Jesus’ resurrection from the dead because, according to many scholars, there is no other event in the life of Jesus that is as significant. In order to better comprehend the magnitude of this event, I will begin by looking at what can be discerned from the Resurrection of Jesus. Then, I will explore the two different kinds of resurrection testimony that there are: the confessional tradition and narrative tradition. For the confessional tradition, I will look at a few examples including St. Paul’s confession in First Corinthians which is composed of four parts: Jesus’ death, the question of the empty tomb, the third day, and the witnesses. For the narrative tradition, I will briefly examine the two sources of information

    These three tests when applied to the Bible show it as the most historically reliable text known to man, thus the events found upon the pages of the Bible are actual historically proven events.      In light of these facts, there are still many theories other than that of the Biblical account. Three of them include the "Visionary" theory, the theft theory, and the wrong tomb theory. The first theory is that of Strauss, that the appearances of Jesus after His death on the cross were "visions generated by the imaginations of the disciples (Ramsey 48)." This may be the easiest of all the theories to discredit. First of all, it does not take into account the inability of the disciples to grasp this idea that Christ was alive and to recognize Him for who He was (Ramsey 48).

    "Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." (James 1:15), or as Paul puts it in Romans 6:23 " the wages of sin is death". Christ never sinned, and therefore did not earn the wages of sin. Therefore God raised him from the dead "having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it." (Acts 2:24). The full story of Christ's death and resurrection can be found in Matthew 27 & 28, Mark 15 & 16, Luke 23 & 24, and John 18 - 21.
