In [1 Corinthians 15:3-4] Paul wrote-- I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me---that Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and He was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures said. There will always be people who say that Jesus didn’t rise from the dead. However Paul assures us that many people saw Jesus after His resurrection; Peter, the disciples, more than five hundred Christian believers, most of whom were still alive when Paul wrote this, although some had died, James (Jesus’ half brother), all the apostles, and finally Paul himself. The resurrection is a historical fact. Don’t be discouraged by doubters who deny the resurrection. Be encouraged and filled with hope because of the knowledge that one day you and they will see the living proof when Christ returns. May God richly bless you this Easter Sunday.
