One Question
Ultimately, when investigating the truth claims of Jesus Christ, it all boils down to one important question. “Can a man rise from the dead?”
For some, that is an unimaginable stretch, and for those, no amount of evidence or argument could prove convincing. There is powerful evidence and reasoning for the historical accuracy of the resurrection of Christ. You can read that here.
If your mind is at least open to the possibility that a man can defeat death, what does that say about that man? If Jesus Christ, who claimed to be God, did in fact rise from the dead, then there is a high probability that all of his other claims were true. Rising from the dead, does not prove Jesus is God, but it certainly lends undeniable credibility to His claims.
If Jesus, who claimed to be God, did not rise from the dead, His claims are most certainly not true. If the disciples’ claims can be proven to be a hoax, or the actual bones of Jesus are found, it would prove conclusively that Jesus could not be who he claimed to be.
So the question is, do you believe a man can rise from the dead? Are you willing to consider such a notion? If you are, could Jesus have done this seemingly impossible act? This is the one event that the Christian faith stands or falls on.
