Resurrection Proof

  1. The Empty Tomb
    1. Argument Against: the Body Was Stolen
      Refutation:
      • Disciples were surprised and skeptical
      • There were guards around the tomb
      • A large stone covered the doorway
      • There was a Roman seal on the tomb
      • People don’t die for a lie
    2. Argument Against: Jesus Never Actually Died
      Refutation:
      • Executioners always made sure the crucified person was dead (broken bones)
      • Christ’s side was pierced
      • Pilate allowed the body to be buried after the testimony of the centurion
      • The events accompanying his burial would have killed Him
      • It takes too much faith to believe He didn’t die
  2. The Post-Resurrection Appearances
    1. Argument Against: His Appearances Were Lies
      Refutation:
      • Jesus called His followers to truth
      • After 3 decades not one follower refuted his story
    2. Argument Against: They Hallucinated
      Refutation:
      • Hallucinations are generally for individuals, not groups
      • Hallucinations occur for long periods of time, then fade; Christ appeared for only 40 days
      • Hallucinations are for high-strung people
      • Psychologists conclude this could not be a hallucination
  3. The Changed Lives of His Followers
  4. The Difficulty of Disbelief
    1. The Reliability of the Gospels
    2. The Accuracy of the Historical & Geographical Records
    3. The Witness & Writings of Paul
  5. Benefits for Believers
    • Our Guarantee
    • Our Perfection
    • Our Acceptance
    • Our Victory
