"Within a generation of Jesus’ death, a substantial movement of people believed Jesus had risen from the dead, had a unique doctrine of the resurrection as a result, and were willing to die rather than renounce Jesus. The existence of this group of people is strong existence for the historicity of the events.
Q: Why is the resurrection the most disputed and dissected event in
First, because it challenges the naturalistic bias of our culture today, a culture where many reject miracles a priori—nothing is more supernatural or miraculous than someone being raised from the dead!
Second, and more importantly, the resurrection confirms everything Jesus claimed. Lots of people made extraordinary claims about themselves, but only Jesus has an empty tomb to substantiate His claims.
The resurrection confronts each one of us.
It isn’t just a fact to be studied;
it’s a reality that demands a response.
Q: How will you respond to the risen Lord Jesus?"
