In this enlightening episode of Untwisting Scripture, hosts Jan and Lisa dive deep into the transformative power of Jesus's resurrection and what it truly means for believers today.
Join us as we explore:
- Why Jesus chose to appear to over 500 people after His resurrection
- The compelling evidence of eyewitness accounts and their impact on early Christianity
- Fresh perspectives on how the resurrection validates the entire Christian message
- The profound comfort and hope resurrection brings to our daily struggles
Lisa shares a powerful analogy about verification: "If I told you that on April 19th in 2023, an angel appeared in the worship center of a local church, your first instinct would be to check with someone who was at that church." This illustrates why the abundance of resurrection witnesses made the early gospel message so credible - people could actually verify these accounts with living eyewitnesses.
Jan offers a thought-provoking perspective when she notes, "Christ didn't stay dead, but he also didn't have to appear to people...the same conquering death would have happened whether or not he chose to appear to 500 people. So why did he do that?" The answer reveals God's understanding of our need for tangible proof.
We also revisit the timeless truth found in the beloved hymn "Because He Lives," reminding listeners that our hope isn't abstract - it's grounded in a historical reality that continues to transform lives today.
As Jan beautifully prays at the close of our episode, we're reminded that "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. You have defeated death and we will live on with you for all eternity."
