He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.       Acts 2:22-24 NIV   22 \u201cFellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God\u2019s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. How do you know Peter?       32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.     Acts 3:15 NIV   15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.;   Acts 10:39 NIV   39 \u201cWe are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, 40 but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen.;       1 Peter 3:15 ESV   15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,                     John 19:34-35 ESV   34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it has borne witness\u2014his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth\u2014that you also may believe.       Matthew 28:12-15 ESV   12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, \u201cTell people, \u2018His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.\u2019 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.\u201d15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.       1 Corinthians 15:5-8 ESV   5 \u2026he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.       \u201cI know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.\u201d   -Chuck Colson       "Either the men of Galilee were men of superlative wisdom, and extensive knowledge and experience, and of deeper skill in the arts of deception than any and all others, before them or after them, or they have truly stated astonishing things which they saw and heard."       "According to the laws of legal evidence used in courts of law, there is more evidence for the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for just about any other event in history."   -Dr. Simon Greenleaf-a principal founder of the Harvard School of Law       Philippians 3:8-10 NIV   8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ\u2014the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ\u2014yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death       Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV   Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.       2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV   16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.             ","author_name":"Central Christian Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.centralhome.org","html":"
