Binmin Podcast Ep. 17: Resurrection | Putting the Fun In...

16 minutes Posted May 15, 2021 at 10:00 am.

Introduction

Resurrection: Jesus came back to life in a glorified physical body, never to die again (1 Cor. 15:1-4).

Why is the resurrection important?

1. Proves Jesus is God.

2. God accepted Christ’s death as a sin offering.

3. It promises future resurrections for all Christians (Rom. 6:4–5)

Historical evidence: Four indisputable facts prove the resurrection.

1. Jesus lived and died.

2. Transformed disciples preached in Jerusalem. The only explanation is that they had seen the risen Jesus.

3. Jewish leaders could not disprove the disciple’s message (Acts 4:1-22).

4. The disciples died for their belief (Acts 7:57–60)!

“You could die for something false… but you’re not gonna die for something you know is false.”

Five arguments against the resurrection

1. First, the disciples did not go to the wrong tomb. Opponents could go to the right tomb and produce Jesus’s dead body.

2. Second, the disciples did not steal Christ’s body (Matt. 28:13) and then die for what they knew was a lie.

3. Third, Jesus did not pass out! This idea is inconsistent with Roman flogging, crucifixion, and spear wound into his side (John 19:32–34).

4. Fourth, mass hallucinations are impossible. Jesus appeared to more than 500 witnesses at one time (1 Cor. 15:6)

5. Fifth, the resurrection cannot be a myth. Myths take more than two generations and geographical isolation. Neither is applicable here.

So what? The resurrection is worth praising God for (1 Pet. 1:3-4)!
