Indeed taking all the evidence together, it is not too much to say that there is no single historic incident better or more variously supported than the Resurrection of Christ.

About This Quote

It’s not too much to say that there is no single historic incident better or more variously supported than the resurrection of Christ. Nothing but the antecedent assumption that it must be false could have suggested the idea of deficiency in the proof of it. The resurrection, according to the evidence, cannot have been a failure. It must have been a success.

If Jesus had not risen from the dead, then our faith in him would have been utterly destroyed. The fact that Jesus rose from the dead is beyond dispute by any fair-minded person.
