REALLY RAISED (MK 15:42-16:8)

9 evidences that the resurrection really happened:

• Definite Death (public, certified)

• Eye-witnesses (mentioned by name, who died for their testimony)

• Sunday worship (change after thousands of years of Sabbath worship)

• Sealed tomb (Large, guarded stone flung one side)

• AWOL guards (4-16 guards who would be killed for abandoning their post are AWOL)

• Empty tomb (nobody could produce the body)

• Resurrection appearances (on Sundays over 40 days to more than 500 at once–1 Cor 15:1-5)

• Prophetic Predictions (Jesus/Scriptures predicted, even His enemies knew- Matt 27:63-64)

• Changed lives (fearful, silent disciples transformed into bold witnesses)
