The Biblical Case for the Resurrection
Could you defend from Scripture the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Sadly, many Christians, although they believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, cannot give an in-depth defense of it from the Scriptures. But the New Testament calls Christians to give a reason and a defense for believing the truths that we believe. In other words, Christians must be, to one degree or another, apologists for the faith. Since the resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to Christianity, every believer must be able to defend such a monumental event.

Part 1
The resurrection of our Lord is central to the Christian faith. In fact, Jesus Himself staked His entire ministry on His resurrection.
