The Eyewitness Testimony That’ll Make You Never Doubt the Resurrection Again.....

Christianity's core belief is that the Son of God took on human form, died for our sins..... and then rose from the dead to give us eternal life.

But if Jesus Christ didn't come back to life, it undoes His claim to be the all-powerful, eternal Son of God, Savior and Messiah.  

So, Christianity hangs on the Resurrection.


To believe the events around that first Easter, you pretty much have to believe that Jesus did indeed exist and that the New Testament can be trusted.

At the Impact 360 school in Pine Mountain, Georgia, Prof. Jonathan Morrow preps college-bound Christians in how to fight with the facts of their faith.

Jesus Isn't Just in the Bible......

He told CBN News, "Investigating the Resurrection is a historical question that you can do with eyes wide open; it's not a blind faith kind of thing, like believing in the Easter Bunny or a lucky rabbit's foot.  

This is real world kind of stuff.  And you can investigate the data for it." 

Morrow added, "So when it comes to the Resurrection, we say 'Well, how do we know Jesus existed?' Some people even doubt that.

 The fact is, we have far more sources for Jesus of Nazareth than we do for many historical figures in the first century.  

We have at least 18. Twelve of those are non-Christian sources."


There's more evidence Jesus existed than Julius Caesar. Anyone doubt Caesar existed?


As for the Scriptures, Prof. Darrell Bock of the Dallas Theological Seminary explained that any piece of a surviving ancient work is called a manuscript. And more ancient pages or fragments of the Bible have survived by far than any other book from antiquity.

"It's exceptional," Bock said. "You're talking about over 5,800 Greek manuscripts, over 8,000 Latin manuscripts. Most books that we work with in the ancient world have maybe at best a dozen manuscripts." 
Jonathan Morrow is a defender of the faith, the literal meaning of "apologist."  But he says Christians shouldn't just defend the faith and the Resurrection. They should embrace it and let it change their lives
