How do we know that Jesus was raised from the dead?
Answered in 1 source
Historical accounts and scriptural testimony confirm Jesus’ resurrection, as seen in the Gospels (Matthew 27:62-64, John 20:1-10).
The resurrection of Jesus is corroborated by both historical accounts and scriptural testimony. In the Gospels, particularly Matthew 27:62-64, the Pharisees recognized Jesus' prophecy of His resurrection, seeking to secure His tomb to prevent any claims of His resurrection. Furthermore, in John 20:1-10, we read about the empty tomb and the discovery of the risen Christ by Mary Magdalene and the disciples. The transformation in the lives of the disciples, from fear to bold proclamation of the Gospel, serves as further evidence of the reality of the resurrection. Moreover, the continuity of the resurrection hope throughout early Christian preaching underscores its foundational role in Christian doctrine.
