How do you know the "Resurrection of Jesus Christ" happened and it is true?

   One of the most attested events in the ancient world was the resurrection of Jesus Christ!  This very fact makes Christianity exclusive from all other religions in the world.  None claims an empty grave so this is why this issue is under attack by the skeptics.  Christianity most certainly stands or falls on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:12-19).  If Jesus did not come back from the dead than the Christian faith crumbles.  The sign of the resurrection was meant to set Jesus apart from any one else who ever lived, and would designate Him as the Son of God (Romans 1:4).

    The accounts of His appearances are recorded for us by eyewitnesses to whom Jesus appeared alive over a 40 day periods after His public crucifixion.  The Bible says, "He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God (Act 1:3)."  The Apostle Paul mentions the fact that 500 people had witnessed the resurrected Christ at one time and most of them were still living when he wrote it in (1 Corinthians 15:6) in 56AD. The historical evidence is more than sufficient as there is a lack of evidence for any other possibility to occur.

    Some skeptics claim that the Romans; the Jews, or the disciples took the body.  The Romans had no reason as they wanted to keep the peace in Palestine.  Stealing the body of Jesus would not keep this objective.  The Jews would have not done it as the last thing they wanted was a proclamation that Jesus did rise from the dead.  They are the ones who asked for a guard (Matthew 27).  The disciples had no reason to steal the body, as if they did, they later died for something they know to be untrue!

    Christ had made 12 appearances (John 20:10-18, 19-23, 24-31, Chap. 21, Matthew 28:1-10, 1 Corinthians 15:5-8, Luke 24:13-35, 36-49, Acts 1:4-8). Jesus is the true risen Savior that was sent to take away the sins of the world.
