1 Corinthians 15:3-4,6-7 – I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. [4] He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. [6] After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. [7] Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.
The resurrection of Jesus is one of the pillars of our faith as Christians. We believe He died for our sins and on the third day He rose to life.
The above passage tells us that Jesus that Jesus was seen by over 500 of His followers after His resurrection. This includes His 12 disciples.
The Bible and other historical writings tell us that most of the 12 disciples, later called Apostles, died at the hands of others because of their faith in Christ.
They were so convinced that Christ died and was raised to life that they were prepared to die for what they believed about Jesus.
For me the evidence keeps building that prove Jesus was who He said He was…
1. He claimed multiple times to be the Son of God and the Messiah.
2. God the Father spoke from heaven three times to confirm He was His Son.
3. He performed many miracles including raising people from the dead.
4. He was raised to life that was seen by more than 500 people.
5. Most of the Apostles died for their faith at the hands of others.
I believe Jesus is the Messiah. I believe He died on the cross for our sins. I believe He was raised to life on the third day. I believe we all need to put our faith, trust and hope in Him. I believe that He is coming back and He will take us to be with Him forever.
