Welcome back to Eternal Life, a special series that explores the life of Christ through seven questions and is created for anyone earnestly seeking truth, even if they grapple with accepting some of the more miraculous and supernatural aspects of Christianity. Today we delve into the first part of question number five: What Evidence is there that Jesus Rose from the Dead? 

Did Jesus truly rise from the dead? How can anyone believe it? How can I believe it? These are crucial, fair, and honest questions, and perhaps the most important when examining the evidence for Jesus as a savior, messiah, or divine figure distinct from all others in history. The resurrection is central to Christianity and since the entire Christian faith hinges on this event I believe it is worth exploring. There are eight reasons underpinning my belief that Jesus rose from the dead. Today I examine the first three so that you can learn more about this event and decide what you believe for yourself! 

• The fact that Jesus’s tomb is still empty, the four theories as to why that is, and the evidence this provides for His resurrection.
• Jesus’s predictions about His own death and resurrection and why this matters.
• The power Jesus demonstrated over death while He was alive.
• What the Bible tells us about the many documented eyewitness sightings of the resurrection.
