In this concluding sermon of the "Christian Evidence" series, preacher Cole Tuck delivers a powerful defense of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of Christianity. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, Cole emphasizes that if the resurrection is a historical fact, it validates the entire faith; if not, Christianity is futile. He presents eight undisputed historical facts—agreed upon by Christian and secular scholars alike—surrounding Jesus' life, death, burial, empty tomb, post-resurrection appearances, and the explosive growth of the early church.
Cole systematically debunks alternative theories like conspiracy, swoon, stolen body, hallucination, wrong tomb, and even the absurd "lost twin" idea, arguing that only the actual resurrection coherently explains all the evidence. He urges believers to bolster their faith with these facts rather than vague assurances, highlighting the resurrection's profound implications: proof of God's existence, Jesus' divinity, and the promise of eternal life through his sacrifice. This message not only strengthens convictions but also inspires sharing the "good news" with skeptics, blending intellectual rigor with heartfelt encouragement.
