Is there evidence for the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Do Christians blindly believe in this Jesus or are there facts backing their faith?

We ask these hard questions in this podcast episode with Lead Pastor Phil Hopper.

A foundational point to make in taking on these questions is that you don’t have to choose between faith and reason, rather they go hand in hand.

We don’t tend to question the lives of historical figures in our textbooks because we have written records and eye witness accounts of their existence. So why do people question the life of Jesus?

It isn’t necessarily due to the lack of evidence, rather their unbelief stems from an unavoidable choice on what to DO with Jesus, if He is indeed who He says He is, the Messiah, the Son of God.

Pastor Phil examines the questions of skeptics and common conspiracy theories surrounding Easter.

Maybe the women went to the wrong tomb. Maybe the disciples stole Jesus’ body. Maybe Jesus didn’t actually die. Hidden behind these theories lays a heart which is unsettled because there is evidence to disprove all of them, and the conclusions all point to Jesus as the Christ.

The most compelling evidence can be found in studying the lives of Jesus’ disciples, before and after His resurrection. They go from living in deathly fear, to facing fearless deaths for the cause of Christ. It’s what the disciples saw with their own eyes that’s what transformed them.

It’s one thing to acknowledge the evidence historically and another to trust in it personally.

“If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9
