The historical life and crucifixion of Jesus is the best documented course of events in world history.

The resurrection is a historical fact, verifiable in the same manner and by the same means that we verify any other historical fact.

The resurrection of Jesus is confirmed by several facts.
 
1. He prediction of his own death and his resurrection on the third day
2. The empty tomb
3. Appearances of Jesus
4. Response of the religious leaders
5. Transformation and boldness of the disciples
6. Willingness to die for this truth
7. Impact on history
8. Experience of billions

What does it mean?

1. If Jesus rose from the dead, then hope for all of us has also been raised
2. It validates all of Jesus’ claims of exclusivity
“Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
3. It means He is right now alive and preparing a place for us
4. It means Jesus will return in like manner as He departed, just as He promised.
 
The resurrection is a historical fact, verifiable in the same manner and by the same means that we verify any other historical fact.
