How do we know that Christ is risen?

The evidence of Christ's resurrection is robust, beginning with the empty tomb, which was discovered by Mary Magdalene. In John 20, the disciples initially did not understand that Jesus had to rise from the dead, but upon entering the tomb and observing the linens, they believed. The repeated appearances of Jesus, including His speaking to Mary, serve as further confirmation of His resurrection. These events are intended so that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing we may have life in His name (John 20:31).
