as economist suntribune april 3 1985 worship with us this easter gross resurrection are essential parts by pastor harvey peters the earthly life of jesus of nazareth ends in sorrow that is as black as pitch on a cross this is followed three days later by a glad- ness that is as bright as asunny spring day full of promise and hope the resurrection the simple fact of the matter is that there is much historical evi dence for the resurrection of jesus christ heres just a little dthe breaking of the roman seal set on the huge twoton stone that covered the entrance to the tomb that seal stood for all the power and authority of the roman empire the penalty for breaking it was automa tic crucifixion upside down 2the empty tomb the disciples preached the resurrection scant days after it happened if anyone in the jewish hierachy or roman establishment could have denied it they would have the apostles did not preach the resurrection in east overshoe but right in jerusalem where the cross and resurrection occurred they were within yards of the evidence 3the huge stone removed a stone which probably weighed about two tons had been rolled down over the entrance of the tomb when they came on sunday to the tomb the boulder was some distance from the tomb 4christs appearances after the re surrection seen at least on 10 sepa rate occasions before a multitude of witnesses seen by mary magdalene mark 169 other women matthew 28810 peter luke 24 24 two men j on the road to emmaus luke 24 13- i 35 etc 5seen by women first according to 1 jewish principles of legal evidence i women were invalid witnesses they did not have a right to give i testimony in a court of law if the i resurrection accounts therefore had been manufactured women would never have been included in the story certainly not as primary wit nesses 6the lives of the apostles surely something happened to change these men from discouraged defe- 1 ated cowards into bold and courageous heroes of the faith j these men all suffered greatly to i bring their message to the world all of them save one died a martyrs death yet none ever denied the re- e surrection but affirmed it to their dying day if these facts are so why do people g still reject christ and christianity i perhaps one of the reasons is that they really do not understand who ji he is and how they can come to know him markham pentecostal church was
