Without the millisecond miracle that changed His corpse to a new body-soul-spirit with endless glory, other arguments for our faith would soon crumble.<\/p>\n<p>The resurrection of Jesus sets Christianity apart. No other world religion claims that its founder left an empty tomb. Not Hinduism. Not Buddhism. Not Islam. (Mohammed died on June 8, 632, and his tomb is visited by multitudes at Medina.) Not even Judaism, whose heroes are all dead and buried. Christ\u2019s victory over death has always been the distinguishing tenet of faith for the Christian church.<\/p>\n<p>The bodily raising of Christ from death plays a vital role in the Bible\u2019s programs of atonement. If He is not risen, the penalty for our sins was not paid at the cross, nor was it accepted in heaven. If He is not risen, death is not defeated, and we have no hope beyond the present. If He is not risen, then take your pick of the world\u2019s religious leaders, and walk on in darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus not only foretold His resurrection but also stressed that His return from the dead would be <em>the<\/em> sign to confirm Him as God\u2019s promised Messiah-Son. Christ predicted both His death and resurrection, like this: \u201cThe Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day\u201d (Luke 9:22). He knew that His future would include the painful humiliation of the cross and the joyous exaltation set before Him three days and nights later.<\/p>\n<p>May our hearts and minds be filled with this truth assembled from many texts: that the resurrection of the divine Son, Lord of heaven and earth, is God\u2019s guarantee that all created things will be renewed in like fashion, and that all foes of life and freedom will be forever banished to oblivion. Call this our \u201ceverything\u201d guarantee \u2014 in Christ.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Can We Know He\u2019s Alive?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes \u2014 by Jesus\u2019 own words: \u201cI <em>am<\/em> He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen\u201d (Revelation 1:18).<\/li>\n<li>Yes \u2014 by the testimony of five hundred-plus eyewitnesses (1 Corinthians 15:4-8). Many of these were dramatically changed by their encounter with the risen Christ. Eleven apostles, who had fled Christ\u2019s cross for fear, later died as martyrs for what they preached: the death and resurrection of Christ.<\/li>\n<li>Yes \u2014 by His post-resurrection appearances to Mary and the other women. Read these in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20. Jesus\u2019 resurrection is one of the best-documented facts of history.<\/li>\n<li>Yes \u2014 by His words to doubters like Thomas: \u201cBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed\u201d (John 20:29).<\/li>\n<li>Yes \u2014 by who He was and is: the ever-living One destined to destroy death. As God\u2019s Son, the divine Christ couldn\u2019t possibly be confined by hell and the grave.<\/li>\n<li>Yes \u2014 because He lives within our hearts. We know that we know that we know . . . beyond pure reason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"ba_end_icon\">BA<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is Jesus of Nazareth the most memorable and remarkable person who ever lived?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":287,"featured_media":2062,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sync_status":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","castos_file_data":"","podmotor_file_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
