RESURRECTION SUNDAY! Evidence for Jesus

JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY INNOCENT MAN WILLING TO BE CRUSHED FOR OUR WRONGS, PHYSICALLY ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND IS ALIVE TODAY! Spiritual, Historical Truth.

Prophetic Authentication: Jeremiah 23:5, 6 Messiah would come from Israel, from the line of David. Isaiah 52:13—15; 53 Messiah would be crushed for our wrongs. Psalm 16:9—11; 22 Messiah would be crucified and rise again.

Hostile Historical Witness: J. Warner Wallace; coldcasechristianity.com Thallus (52 AD) quoted be Julius Africanus “On the whole world there pressed a darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake…[and] an eclipse of the sun.”

Hostile Historical Witness: J. Warner Wallace; coldcasechristianity.com Mara Bar-Serapion (70 AD) called Jesus a “Wise King.” “What benefit…was obtained in putting Socrates to death?...For burning Pythagoras? Or the Jews by murdering their wise king?”

Hostile Historical Witness: J. Warner Wallace; coldcasechristianity.com Phlegon (80—140AD), records that, in the time of Tiberius Caesar, at full moon, there was a full eclipse of the sun from the sixth to the ninth hour. And More: Lucian of Samosata, Pliny the Younger, Suetonias, Celsus, Tacitus.

Hostile Historic Witness: J. Warner Wallace; coldcasechristianity.com From Jewish Sources: Jewish Talmud. Their words: “Jesus practiced magic and led Israel astray.” “Rabbi Hisda, “…No evil will befall you (means)…you will not have a son who burns his food like Jesus of Nazareth.” “Our Rabbi’s have taught us that Jesus had 5 disciples.”

Hostile Historic Witness: J. Warner Wallace; coldcasechristianity.com Most famous Talmud passage: “It was taught: On the day before the Passover, they hanged Jesus…” Clearly, Jesus had amazing supernatural ability, was hated by the religious leaders and crucified before the Passover.

Eyewitness Testimony: Eyewitness Testimony: High priority in any case. Provides information that cannot be obtained from any other source. Eyewitness testimony is tainted by perspective. But, when given in enough measure reveals the truth.

Eyewitness Testimony: The Gospel Writers are all Eyewitnesses of the life, miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus. The Apostle Paul, or Saul of Tarsus, persecuted Christians until he met the risen Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus.

Eyewitness Testimony: The Apostle Paul records his truth about the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15. He testifies: Jesus existed-Appeared to the 12 Died for Sins-Appeared to 500+ Was buried-Appeared to him, also Rose from the dead.

Application: TRUE: Jesus Christ, the only innocent man willing to be crushed for our wrongs, physically rose from the dead and is alive today.” His testimony is true. What have you done with Jesus?
