Defend The Resurrection

June 1, 2025 | Bible Engagement Project

The resurrection of Jesus is the most climatic moment in the Bible. It's the ultimate confirmation that Jesus is God's son and the promised Messiah. In Paul's letter to the Church in Corinth he remarks on how some of the believers in Christ were believing everything about Jesus but not in his resurrection. Paul recounts in 1 Corinthians 15 that if we choose to not really believe in Jesus' resurrection then our faith is useless because that is the whole point of Jesus! He came and took our rightly earned punishment of death upon himself, was completely separated from his Heavenly Father in an earthly death so that with his resurrection we would have the chance at a new and eternal life with Him. Defending the Resurrection is defending the very core of our faith. The four gospels Matthew, Mark Luke, & John all record the miraculous events of hundreds of people and the 12 seeing Jesus 3 days after he was murdered on the Cross and the empty tomb. Today we have even discovered historical written records about Jesus from non-Christian historians such as Josephus, a jewish historian and Lucius Cassius who was a Roman senator and historian. Be encouraged to regard the Bible and written events as true, proven history, be encouraged to not lose the effectiveness of the Bible due to familiarity of its stories.
