- 00:07
- Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.

- Scripture presents conclusive evidence that Jesus Christ was, in fact, resurrected from the dead.
- 00:26
- Christ's resurrection is recorded in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20.
- 00:33
- The resurrected Christ also appears in the book of Acts 1. From these passages you can gain several proofs of Christ's resurrection.
- 00:42
- First is the dramatic change in the disciples. They went from a group of men, frightened and in hiding, to strong, courageous witnesses sharing the gospel throughout the world.
- 00:52
- What else could explain this dramatic change other than the risen Christ appearing to them? Second is the life of the apostle
- 00:59
- Paul. What changed him from being a persecutor of the church into an apostle for the church?
- 01:05
- It was when the risen Christ appeared to him on the road to Damascus, Acts 9, verses 1 -6.
- 01:11
- A third convincing proof is the empty tomb. If Christ were not raised, then where is His body?
- 01:16
- The disciples and others saw the tomb where He was buried. When they returned, His body was not there.
- 01:23
- Angels declared that He had been raised from the dead as He had promised, Matthew 28, verses 5 -7.
- 01:30
- Fourth, additional evidence of His resurrection is the many people He appeared to, 1 Corinthians 15, verses 5 -7.
- 01:38

- 01:49
- Paul explains why it is crucial to understand and believe in Christ's resurrection.
- 01:55
- The resurrection is important for the following reasons. First, if Christ was not raised from the dead, believers would not be either, 1
- 02:03
- Corinthians 15, verses 12 -15. Second, if Christ was not raised from the dead,
- 02:08
- His sacrifice for sin was not sufficient. Jesus' resurrection proved that His death was accepted by God as the atonement for our sins.
- 02:18
- If He had simply died and stayed dead, that would indicate His sacrifice was not sufficient.
- 02:24
- As a result, believers would not be forgiven for their sins, and they would remain dead after they died, verses 16 -19.
- 02:33
- There would be no such thing as eternal life, John 3, verse 16. But now, Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who are asleep, verse 20.

- It describes the glorious nature of the resurrection body we will receive, verses 35 -49.
- 03:11

- 03:19
- What a glorious truth the resurrection of Christ is! Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm.
- 03:26
- Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the
- 03:32
- Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15, verse 58. According to the
- 03:37
- Bible, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is most definitely true. The Bible records Christ's resurrection, records that over 500 people witnessed the resurrected
- 03:46
- Christ, and proceeds to build crucial Christian doctrine on the historical fact of Jesus' resurrection.
