The Resurrection of Jesus

In A Nutshell: Does the Resurrection of Jesus prove God's existence?

Explained: This is based on the historical facts of the story of Jesus of Nazareth's resurrection.
1. Empty tomb
  • Discovered by Jesus' female followers
  • Historically almost impossible to disprove
2. Jesus' postmortem appearances
  • Historical certainty that Peter and the disciples saw Jesus as the risen Christ
  • He was seen not only by believers, but also by sceptics, unbelievers, and even enemies of the early Christian movement
3. Origin of disciples' belief in Jesus' resurrection
  • They had a sudden and sincere belief in the resurrection of Jesus despite every predisposition to the contrary that they had been taught by the Jewish society 
  • They were willing to die for the truth of that belief
  • It's very hard to explain the fast rise of Christianity without the resurrection being fact. If God raised Jesus from the dead, then He must exist.

My Opinion:
The resurrection is one of my favourite parts of the Gospel that people try to prove or disprove, and I think that it has many solid factual, historical, points that to me, directly prove the existence of a God.
