Michael Green once said “This is the most important issue you will ever have to decide – Did Jesus rise from the dead or not” It’s true. Just in case you’re wondering or doubting, let me just give you some of the evidence of Jesus’ Resurrection:
1. Jesus Told His Disciples Hew would be resurrected – John 2:18-22
2. Jesus appeared to more than 500 people after the Resurrection:
- To Mary Magdalene: Mark 16:9; John 20:14
- To women returning from the tomb. Matt 28:9-10
- To Peter later in the day. Luke 24:34; I Corinthians 15:5
- To the Emmaus disciples. Luke 24:13-33
- To the apostles without Thomas. Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-24
- To the apostles with Thomas present. John 20:26-29
- To the seven by the lake of Tiberias. John 21:1-23
