Mia Dinoto Instagram – Christianity is unlike any other worldview because it is not founded on a mere claim but on a historical event, that is Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. If Jesus rose from the dead, Christianity is true, if He didn’t, it’s false. It’s the only worldview that can be cross-examined and tested. Here are 12 historical facts about Jesus that even non-Christian critical scholars will admit. 1. Jesus died by Roman crucifixion 2. He was buried, most likely in a private tomb. 3. The disciples lost hope. 4. The tomb was found empty soon after his internment. 5. The disciples had individual and group experiences that they believed were actual appearances of the risen Christ. 6. Due to these experiences, the disciple’s lives were thoroughly transformed, even being willing to die for this belief. 7. Apostolic proclamation of the resurrection began very early when its church was in its infancy 8. The disciples’ preaching of the resurrection took place in Jerusalem 9. The Gospel message centered on the death and resurrection of Jesus. 10. Jesus appeared to perform miracles and exorcisms and considered Himself God’s eschatological agent. 11. James, the brother of Jesus and a former skeptic, became a Christian due to an experience that he believed was an appearance of the risen Jesus. 12. Within a few years Saul (Paul), the church persecutor, became a Christian due to an experience that he believed was an appearance of the risen Jesus. Any theory must be able to adequately account for this data. (Stay tuned for a future video where I will unpack and explain the significance of these facts.) After examining the evidence, ask yourself, “What is the most reasonable explanation?” Don’t hang onto your presuppositions, but follow the evidence where it leads. #resurrectionday #resurrection #HeIsRisen #JesusisLord #JesusChrist
