Evidences of Christ’s Messiahship and Divinity

"The evidences of Christ’s messiahship and His divinity were such as to carry conviction to all minds, excepting those 

--blinded by error 

--and hardened by sin. 

And these evidences grew more overwhelming until He left the world from Olivet to appear in the presence of God for sinners. Matthew records a series of these evidences connected with His death and resurrection, which closes the sacred history of his first advent: Matthew 27:51-54 And behold the veil of the temple was

rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly, this was the Son of God. 

And not only was Christ in the world forty days after His 

resurrection, teaching, comforting and confirming the disciples at 

certain seasons, but during this same period the resurrected worthies of past ages, who came out of their graves after Christ’s resurrection, were mingling with mortal men, and bearing testimony to His resurrection. 

And when Christ ascended, He took these resurrected ones with Him, as affirmed by Paul in these words: Ephesians 4:8 When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive."
