Jesus’s resurrection is the fifth episode in an eight-part series entitled “Putting the Fun in…” the fundamentals (or essential doctrines) of Christianity. Four indisputable facts prove the resurrection without any valid arguments against it.
0:25 - Introduction
1:23 - Resurrection: Jesus came back to life in a glorified physical body, never to die again (1 Cor. 15:1-4).
2:59 - Why is the resurrection important?
3:10 - 1. Proves Jesus is God.
3:28 - 2. God accepted Christ’s death as a sin offering.
3:38 - 3. It promises future resurrections for all Christians (Rom. 6:4–5)
4:20 - Historical evidence: Four indisputable facts prove the resurrection.
4:30 - 1. Jesus lived and died.
5:00 - 2. Transformed disciples preached in Jerusalem. The only explanation is that they had seen the risen Jesus.
6:00 - 3. Jewish leaders could not disprove the disciple’s message (Acts 4:1-22).
6:35 - 4. The disciples died for their belief (Acts 7:57–60)!
7:18 - “You could die for something false… but you’re not gonna die for something you know is false.”
7:56 - Five arguments against the resurrection
8:56 - 1. First, the disciples did not go to the wrong tomb. Opponents could go to the right tomb and produce Jesus’s dead body.
9:21 - 2. Second, the disciples did not steal Christ’s body (Matt. 28:13) and then die for what they knew was a lie.
10:45 - 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).
11:31 - 4. Fourth, mass hallucinations are impossible. Jesus appeared to more than 500 witnesses at one time (1 Cor. 15:6)
12:16 - 5. Fifth, the resurrection cannot be a myth. Myths take more than two generations and geographical isolation. Neither is applicable here.
14:07 - So what? The resurrection is worth praising God for (1 Pet. 1:3-4)!
15:03 - Use this information to talk with others.
15:51 - Wrap up
