Proof of the resurrection
This is one of the most significant piece of Christianity. The resurrection of Christ. If He had not conquered death Christianity would be like every other religion. Just a bunch of good teachings; but Christianity is unique because Jesus rose from the dead? How do we know?
1) It's 2021 this year. The timelines have changed over the years so it's not precisely accurate but something significant had to have happened around 2021 years ago!
2) The disciples went into hiding after Jesus's arrest and crucifixion but all of them died for this story. If it was a lie surely someone would have produced a body; especially since many of them were tortured for this story.
3) He explained His death and resurrection to the two on the Emmaus road through the lens of the prophets
4) The disciples saw His nail pierced hands and feet yet He ate a fish in front of them
5) The angel at the tomb told Mary He had risen
6) He was really dead because when His side was pierced on the cross the fluid that came out was a sign of death (so He wasn't just unconscious)
7) He appeared to many people after His resurrection not just a few
8) They never produced the body even though the Romans and Jewish leaders wanted to stop the rise of Christianity and a body would have done this.
If you can think of other reasons why we know please add them to the comments.
