The Evidence for Easter (6 of 6)

Luke 24:1
Luke 24:1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, ''Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen!

1. The Empty Tomb. The Bible records it and early claims of Christianity was that He was raised from the dead, but the fact is, for 2,000 years, nobody has been able to produce the body! Christ's body has never been found, the question arises: What happened to the body if it wasn't resurrected? Some people say it was stolen; well then, who stole it? The Romans and Jewish leaders had no motivation to steal it. The apostles lacked the courage to steal it, they all became disillusioned and deserted Christ before his death. No one has ever been able to find the body of Jesus. You can find the body of Mohammed. You can find the body of Buddha, but you can never find the body of Jesus because as the Ange ...
