WHAT ARE THE PROOFS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST?
Jesus “…showed Himself alive after His passion by MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3) # 1 THE CERTAINTY OF HIS DEATH: Some have tried to say that the Lord Jesus didn’t really die when He hung on Calvary’s cross. The evidence in the Bible overwhelmingly supports the reality of His death. He was beaten and flogged several times before the crucifixion. He was so weak he collapsed while carrying His cross. His hands and feet bled for as much as possibly 7 hours, being nailed to the cross. His side was pierced with a spear and there came out “blood and water” — an indication of the pooling of blood in death. The soldiers did not carry out the customary procedure of the breaking of his legs because He was already dead. Pilate made a security check with the Centurion leader to verify Christ’s death before he granted permission for his burial (Mk.15, Jn. 19). # 2 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OF ROMAN GOVERNMEN
