EVIDENCE OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION
Hello all,
Thank you for reading this Blog to benefit from this glorious Message.
I promised to bring you evidence of Christ’s Resurrection according to the Scriptures.
.
I hope you were able to read Luke chapters 22-24, telling us about Jesus’ last days on earth, in order to get the fuller picture.

EVIDENCE ACCORDING TO ST LUKE’S GOSPEL:
The empty tomb Luke 24:1-3. From 23:55, some women (of them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the Mother of Jesus; see John 20 16-18) followed and noted the tomb, came back with spices the following morning to anoint His body and found the tomb empty. Two angels near-by declared to them ‘He is not here but is risen…’ (v6).
Jesus, unrecognized, joined two men to discuss recent events concerning Him, on the road to Emmaus.
Jesus opened their understanding through breaking of the bread (action familiar to them) and vanished as they recognized Him (v13-31)
These men, out of excitement and joy, travelled back that night to Jerusalem
As they discussed with these other disciples, Jesus stood in their midst and said ‘Peace be unto you’. (V36-43) Jesus allays their fears, deals with their doubts, and makes His bodily (not spiritual) presence unmistakable.
HE APPEARED TO THEM IN BODILY FORM
SHOWED HIS SCARS
HE WAS TOUCHED
HE ATE WITH THEM (v43)
Jesus reminds His disciples the references of His death and resurrection in the Scriptures, the Law of Moses, and the prophets and in the psalms. (V44-46)
The other Gospels also record more manifestations of Jesus to some other individuals and groups of people after His resurrection
PAUL’S TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE OF THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL
Paul (Saul of Tarsus Damascus (Acts chapter 9)
-Christ died for our sins (Luke23:46; John 3:16)
- He was buried, and rose again on the third day. (Luke 23:55-24:3)
- He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve. (Luke 24:34-48)
- After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once
- After that, He was seen of James (1Cor 15:7)
- Then, of all the apostles. (These later witnessed His ascension to heaven (Luke 24:49-52)
-And Last of all, ‘He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time’. (1Cor. 15: 1-8)
These are summarised evidence of the truth of the Gospel message-the expression of God’s Love for mankind. (John 3: 16}
Therefore, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and Thou shall be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16: 31)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are wonderful and excellent in your love for mankind and for me. I come back to You. Thank You for the work of mercy through the sacrifice of Your Son Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary. Lord Jesus, I pray you come into my heart and life. Forgive my sins, and deliver me from evil. Wash me with thy precious blood, and abide with me always… Amen
