Resurrection Proofs
. . .“it is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,
who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”
Romans 8:34
Christians believe what the Bible writers carefully recorded: Jesus Christ was put to death at the command of the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, and afterwards His body was placed in a stone, cave-like tomb. At Pilate’s instruction the tomb was sealed and placed under guard—but early on the third day after His death, the tomb was empty, the frightened soldiers had fled, and an angel announced that Jesus had been raised from the dead.
Did this actually happen? Yes—and the proof is that during the next 40 days Jesus appeared repeatedly to various people, including over 500 on one occasion. Only God could have done this—and He did!
Why is this important? For one thing, it confirms who Jesus is: God’s only Son, sent from Heaven to save us from our sins. But the resurrection also tells us that death and hell have been defeated, and God has provided the way for us to be cleansed of our sins and given the gift of eternal life. God loves you that much! Why not ask Christ to come into your life today? The Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Roms 10:9).
