Every Spring…
In a worldfilled with
atheistic, secular skepticism;
Christians need to know WHY they believe
what they do.
Alternative Explanations for the Resurrection:
Wrong TombDisplaced Body
“Swoon” / Apparent DeathStolen Body / Bribery
- Matthew 28: 11-15“Easter Legend”
Mass Hallucination
1 Corinthians 15: 1-8
Verses 3-8 are likely the
earliest church “creed” about Jesus’ death & resurrection.
Saint Luke: A Dedicated Historian
Luke 1: 1-4 Acts 1: 1-3
2 Peter 1:16
“We did not follow cleverly invented
stories when we told you about the power
and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but
we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.”
Acts 4: 18-2018 Then they called [Peter and John] in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all
in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God. 20 For
we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
Only an unshakeable and true belief
in the resurrection of Jesus Christ could have fueled the early
Christians to share their faith and stand
strong under the intense persecution
of the Roman Empire.
Matthew 5:16
“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your
Father in Heaven.”
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is:
History or Hoax
Miracle or Myth
Fact or Fantasy
There is NO Middle Ground!
