Whenever I refuse to accept the evidence, I demonstrate blind faith. I shudder to think of where my flight might land if I followed blind faith. When Jesus Christ and the Apostles called upon a person to exercise faith, it was not a blind faith, but intelligent faith. It is reasonable faith. Faith in the Christian sense goes beyond reason, but not against it.
Faith is the assurance of the heart in the adequacy of the evidence.
Let's read the evidence from scripture 20. But the fact is that Christ did actually rise from the dead, and has become the first of millions who will come back to life again some day. He was seen by Peter and later by the rest of the twelve. After that he was seen by more than five hundred Christian brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died by now. Then James saw him and later all the apostles.
