What evidence supports the resurrection of Jesus?

Answered in 2 sources

Evidence for the resurrection of Jesus includes eyewitness testimonies, Old Testament prophecies, and the historical consistency of apostolic preaching.

The evidence supporting the resurrection is robust. Numerous eyewitnesses, including Peter and over five hundred others, claimed to have seen the resurrected Christ, as noted in 1 Corinthians 15:5-6. This multitude of testimonies provides a strong foundation for belief in the resurrection. Furthermore, the resurrection was foretold in the Old Testament, where prophetic writings affirmed God's promise to raise His Son from the dead, fulfilling His redemptive work. The consistent proclamation of this truth by the apostles in the early church further solidifies its authenticity, as they faced persecution and death rather than recanting their testimonies.
