Did the ressurection happen?

There is physical evidence that Jesus had risen, and was not a ghost or an impersonator. This physical evidence is not written in bias from either a supporter or a protester of Jesus, but it is not written in away against Jesus or to change somebody’s mind.

Firstly the stone being rolled away could have been rolled away could have been looked at in the opinion that guards had rolled away the stone to check the body, but the guards would have had no reason to do this as they were guarding the entrance as their was a rumour about Jesus being risen from the dead and if their was any doubts that Jesus was not dead then there would have had to have been guards in front of the tomb at all times and so although they had proof that Jesus was dead the tomb was still heavily guarded. Secondly Jesus’ body was missing from the tomb and the linen being left would be counted as physical evidence. The evidence of these two facts could be that the body could have been taken away by grave robbers or guards, but grave robbers would not have been into the grave because Jesus was poor and so had no possessions. Another explanation could be that the people went to the wrong tomb, but this could not be true either because more than one person went to the grave and so the right one would have been found eventually. Thirdly when Jesus appeared to the disciples he showed them his wounds in his hands, feet and side from the nails on the cross and by the guards. If Jesus was not alive then he would not have appeared in front of the disciples and would not have had the wounds, also if it had of been an impostor then he would not of had the wounds made by the guards or the cross because to have the wounds you would have had to be crucified and therefore you would be dead or if you were still miraculously alive your legs would be broken and so you would not have been able to stand up or walk. Lastly when Jesus was in the house with the disciples, to prove that he was not a ghost, he ate fish. This proves that he was alive because if Jesus had of been a ghost then the fish would not have moved and he would not have been seen, and also the fish would not have moved and so this would not be a possible explanation.

If Jesus had not died and risen again then people over the years who have died for their beliefs would have died in vain, because if Jesus had not of given the inspiration and example of hope then so many people would not have converted from their original faiths to turn to Christianity. Many people have been persecuted for their Christian beliefs for over 4000 years; people have either been killed by people or have died for their own personal reasons in the belief of life after death. Many people converted to Christianity after the resurrection as they began to believe in the preaching of life after death that Jesus used to speak about.

In conclusion using these facts and possible explanations I have proved that the resurrection did happen and so the belief in life after death is true. Also proving that the facts and witness explanations are true as there are no other explanations except the ones written in the true resurrection story and so bias is not used but it is all completely true. The resurrection story is one that has been told for centuries and will still be told for year on year and will remain the base truth of our faith and will be for years to come.
