Evidence of Christ's Resurrection

PK shared this the other day when I was absent from church and he was kind enough to pass it along. Its taken from “The Historical Jesus, Ancient Evidence for the Life of Christ”, G.R. Habermas, College Press, Joplin, 1996.

1. Jesus was buried.
   
2. Jesus’ death caused the disciples to despair and lose hope believing that his life had ended.
   
3. Although not widely accepted, many scholars believe that the tomb that Jesus was buried in was found empty just a few days later.
   
4. The disciples had experiences that they believed were literal appearances of the risen Jesus.
   
5. The disciples were transformed from doubters, who were afraid to identify themselves with Jesus, to bold proclaimers of his death and resurrection.
   
6. This message was the center of preaching in the early church.
   
7. This message was proclaimed in Jerusalem where Jesus died and was buried shortly before.
   
8. The Church was born and grew.
   
9. Sunday became the primary day of worship in the early Jewish led Church.
   
10. James, who was a skeptic, was converted to the faith when he believed he saw the resurrected Jesus.
    
11. Paul, an enemy of the church, was converted by an experience where he believed that he saw the resurrected Jesus.
