Not to mention, the people whom He appeared to didn’t just see Him, but ate with Him, walked with Him, touched Him.
He appeared to over 500 at one point – a huge number to be an outright fabrication. Over a span of six weeks, He appeared to a variety of groups of various sizes in different locations. There were post-resurrection appearances, to hundreds This was definitely a “team lift” or “team roll,” not movable by just one or two men. Most scholars put the weight of the stone at about 2 tons (4000 pounds), probably at least seven or eight feet high. Had they fallen asleep or left their post they would have violated the law, resulting in their own execution. These soldiers were experts in torture and in combat, not easily frightened off by a band of fishermen and tax collectors. The “guard” was at least four men, possibly more, of highly trained soldiers. The Tomb had a Roman guard stationed there Break the seal, you break the law break the law – you die. The Roman seal was pressed into the clay. The Tomb had a Roman sealĬlay was affixed to a rope (stretched across a rock) and to the tomb, itself. Modern scholars and directors can claim what they want on their cable specials. The founders of other “faiths” are buried in tombs or had their ashes sprinkled over foreign lands. These are not exhaustive or highly detailed they are quick points that further strengthen what humble-hearted believers take on faith: 1. Here are 15 very quick facts that point to the truth of the Resurrection. When it comes to Easter Sunday, however, and the glorious truth about the Resurrection, to say that there is no logical truth to this belief, is not only ignorant, it is absurd. So, let’s remember that any conversation about the existence of God or the truth about Christ’s resurrection necessitates a humble admission that “it is possible that God exists” and that “we are not God.” Humility and grace go hand-in-hand, as do pride and sin. God’s truth and human pride do not co-exist in the same space that is the nature of sin.
If people are not willing to humbly admit that they don’t have all the answers than the conversation will go nowhere. The second thing we should remind people is that any conversation about God is going to necessitate a degree of faith. The truth is that Christianity is far more logical than many people give it credit for, certainly more logical than atheism or agnosticism. What is illogical is to think that “man” is the center of the universe. God makes it very clear that “(His) ways are not our ways, nor are His thoughts our thoughts” ( Isaiah 55:8-9 ). The first thing we need to remember is that “human logic” is not omnipotence. Many people will tell you that “based on human logic” the Resurrection makes no sense.
