Did Jesus Really Rise From The Dead?
By: Hendrik WielandPart 1:
The greatest question of our time is “Who is the real Jesus Christ?” Was he just an exceptional man, or was he God in the flesh, as Paul, John, and his other disciples believed?
The eyewitnesses to Jesus Christ actually spoke and acted like they believed he physically rose from the dead after his crucifixion.
If they were wrong then Christianity has been founded upon a lie.
But if they were right, such a miracle would substantiate all Jesus said about God, himself, and us.
But must we take the resurrection of Jesus Christ by faith alone, or is there solid historical evidence?
Several skeptics began investigations into the historical record to prove the resurrection account false.
What did they discover?
May you walk with the assurance that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin; that you are redeemed because of His sacrifice; and that you're His child.
Look up and rejoice; the Hope of Glory is on the way. The King is coming. Be blessed, in Jesus' name.

Part 2:
We all are shocked when a famous person suddenly dies.
Death has been called “the great equalizer.”
Thousands of stone markers surrounded by spacious green lawns tell the stories.
Nobel Prize winners.
Beauty queens.
Billionaires.
Presidents.
All die.
Someday it will be our turn.
The question we all ask is, “what then?” Some, like atheist Bertrand Russell believe death is the end of all consciousness.
Russell wrote, “I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my own ego will survive.”
However, Jesus Christ said that those who believe in him will be given eternal life.
In a radical statement to his followers he said, “I am the resurrection and the life.
Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again.”
Furthermore, he told his disciples he would prove his words are true by dying and then rising from the dead three days later.
If Jesus did rise from the dead three days as the New Testament claims, then his promise of eternal life after death is credible.
But if Jesus didn’t rise, then everything else he said is put into question.
Theologian R. C. Sproul has stated, “The claim of resurrection is vital to Christianity.
If Christ has been raised from the dead by God, then He has the credentials and certification that no other religious leader possesses.
Buddha is dead.
Mohammad is dead.
Moses is dead.
Confucius is dead.
But, according to … Christianity, Christ is alive.”
Mythical accounts depict gods such as Osiris, Isis, Horus, and Tammuz dying and coming back to life.
But no one seriously believes these myths are true because there isn’t a shred of evidence that these gods existed, let alone came back from the dead.
But with Jesus Christ, the evidence is compelling that 2,000 years ago he did exist and greatly impacted history.
