Of the events leading up to and
including the crucifixion, what
impacted you the most based
on our presentation?
THE GOSPEL OF MARK CHAPTER 16
How do you defend the truth of the resurrection:
He only swooned and didn’t die
Jesus suffered fatal torment. As we covered, beaten flogged,
crucified and pierced through the heart
They went to the wrong tomb
Certainly the women knew where they were going and if not,
Joseph knew where his family tomb was. Additionally, the
religious leaders could also verify the location of the tomb
which they most assuredly did and the tomb was empty
THE GOSPEL OF MARK CHAPTER 16
(Continued)
So if He really did rise form the dead, name some proof:
Jesus appeared to many believers after His resurrection
not only to prove it but to finish some last minute
teaching
He appeared to the women at the tomb, the disciples on
more than one occasion, the two on the road over 500 at
the same time and even Paul
THE GOSPEL OF MARK CHAPTER 16
(Continued)
How about one more proof:
What about the transformation of the disciples and other
believers?
Hanegraaff: “In the span of a few hundred years, a small band
of seemingly insignificant believers succeeded in turning an
entire empire upside down. As has been well said, “they
faced the tyrant’s brandished steel, the lions gory main, and
the fires of a thousand deaths,” because they were utterly
convinced that they, like their Master, would one day rise
from the grave in glorified, resurrected bodies.”
Let’s put this all together:
Fatal Torment
Empty tomb
Appearances of Christ
Transformation
Evidence of the resurrection = FEAT
