Historicity of The Resurrection: A Theological Approach of Evidence of The Resurrection of Christ In The New Testament

Abstract

Jesus is the resurrection and the life. He'll never wear grave clothes again. When he appeared to his disciples after the resurrection, he appeared not in a shroud of death, but walking in endless life. The Lord Jesus is the Son of God who became man. He is very God and very man. He was crucified, he died and was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures. The proofs of resurrection can be found both in the Scripture and also in the history. Historically, the empty tomb and Jesus appearances to His disciples and many of His followers are clear proving that the resurrection of Chris is real. Biblically, it was the main preaching and teaching of the apostles. Beside that Jesus Himself prophesied and teaches about His resurrection. These three great facts--the resurrection appearances, the empty tomb, and the origin of the Christian faith--all point unavoidably to one conclusion: The resurrection of Jesus. Today the rational man can hardly be blamed if he believes that on that first Easter morning a divine miracle occurred. Further fact is, if no resurrection, there will no church, there will no Christianity. Because of Jesus resurrection, the believers have assurance future life. Because He lives, there is hope for the future; there is certain hope for the salvation of the believers.
