- They Were Too Familiar with His Humanity. The Son of God showed up on the earth as the Son of Man. He didn’t stand out from the crowd, float above the ground, wear a halo, or sit on a throne in Jerusalem.
- They Were Too Focused on the Natural. Their minds did not always perceive the spiritual reason the Almighty sent His Son to earth. Christ’s supporters saw miracles unlike any the world had ever experienced before.
- They Didn’t Understand His Mission. The Pharisees wanted to put a guard at the burial chamber because they remembered what their nemesis said about rising from the dead.
- They Were Controlled by Fear. The men all fled the scene after Jesus’ arrest (Mark 14:50). They were afraid they would be imprisoned also. Mary Magdalene was the first one Christ appeared to after the resurrection and He gave her the task of proclaiming the good news that He was alive.

To begin, what is the evidence that the tomb in which Jesus was buried was discovered empty by a group of women on the Sunday following the crucifixion? First, the resurrection was preached in the same city where Jesus had been buried shortly before. Jesus' disciples did not go to some obscure place where no one had heard of Jesus to begin preachin...
Next, there is the evidence that Jesus' disciples had real experiences with one whom they believed was the risen Christ. This is not commonly disputed today because we have the testimony of the original disciples themselves that they saw Jesus alive again. And you don't need to believe in the reliability of the gospels to believe this. In 1 Corinth...
Finally, the existence of the Christian church is strong proof for the resurrection. Why is this? Because even the most skeptical NT scholars admit that the disciples at least believed that Jesus was raised from the grave. But how can we explain the origin of that belief? William Lane Craig points out that there are three possible causes: Christian...
These are three independently established facts that we have established. If we deny the resurrection, we are left with at least three inexplicable mysteries. But there is a much, much better explanation than a wimpy appeal to mystery or a far-fetched appeal to a stolen body, hallucination, and mystery religion. The best explanation is that Christ ...
Before examining, briefly, the implications of the resurrection, I wish to take a quick look at perhaps the most popular theory today against the resurrection--that it was a legend that developed over time. The facts we have established so far are enough to put to rest any idea of a legend. First, we have seen that the testimony of the resurrection...
But, in conclusion, don't we have to ask ourselves what implications this has? Why does it matter? Or is this some dry, dusty old piece of history that has no relevance to our lives? I believe that the resurrection is the most important truth in the world. It has far reaching implications on our lives. First, the resurrection proves that the claims...
Aug 4, 2017 · First, the apostles believed that Jesus of Nazareth had risen from the dead because they had seen Him alive after His death by crucifixion. Their convictions were not based on secondhand testimony, but firsthand experience. Second, there is good reason to believe the first Christians were persecuted.
