The Truth About The Bible!

Remember Those Who Saw The Resurrected Christ!

   I thought for Easter I would review about those who saw Christ after He arose from the dead.
   There were many real people who saw Christ after He arose. In I Cor. 15:5-8 Paul tells us over 500 people saw Him all at one time. He also tells us that Peter saw Him, and the 12 disciples saw Him. Paul also said that most of those who saw Christ were still alive when Paul wrote I Cor.
   Some would compare these witnesses to those who "see" Elvis Presley, but the Bible doesn't allow for that. It says clearly that Jesus showed Himself alive by "many convincing proofs" 10 times during a 40 day period.
   Morgan writes, "The genuineness of these eyewitness reports and the historical reliability of the accounts are virtually beyond question. He, then, quoted Wilber Smith, "...added an insightful point about these appearances when he wrote:
   '...about a year ago, after studying over a long period of time, this entire problem of the Lord's resurrection and having written some hundreds of pages upon it at different times, I was suddenly arrested by the thought that the very kind of evidence which modern science, and even psychologists, are so insistent upon, for determining the reality of any object under consideration is the kind of evidence that we have presented to us in the gospels regarding the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,  namely, the things that are seen with the human eye, touched by the human hand, and heard by the human ear. This is what we call empirical evidence. It would almost seem as if parts of the Gospel records of the resurrection were actually written for such a day as ours when empiricism so dominates our thinking.'"
