Short Story Of The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ

Superior Essays
One of the most Puzzling questions for centuries among Biblical scholars, laypeople and people of all professions is the question of what happened to Jesus Christ. W ho is Jesus Christ and where is Jesus if his body is not in the tomb? The truth lies within the Christian faith, which is that Jesus is the Son of God and was resurrected. There are many who do not believe in the resurrection because there were no eye witnesses who saw what happened to Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most puzzling part of the entire event is that for the perpetuated story to have occurred in actuality, one would have to accept some form of “help” for him that transcends all reason and theory. Jesus was known as the Messiah and many people traveled across the world just …show more content…
There was a large stone that was placed in front of the tomb which was guarded by many soldiers. That Sunday a tremendous earthquake began to shake but it was not an ordinary earthquake; there was an angel rolling the stone away. The soldiers saw the angel and trembled in fear. (Resurrection of Jesus Christ- Story Summary) Mary then walked unto the tomb weeping and looked up and noticed the stone had been rolled away. She looked into the tomb and found two angels one where Jesus’ feet were and another sitting at were Jesus’ head used to lie. The angels asked her why she was crying and Mary told them that the men had taken her Lord and she now does not know where they laid him. Mary then turned to find Jesus standing behind her. Jesus then told Mary to run to the disciples and tell them that she has seen Jesus very well alive. …show more content…
Such as Dr. Ehrman he simply just does not believe that there is no possible way that Jesus was resurrected. He states that if it was true it would have to be a miracle and miracles do not have any hard cold evidence. He makes the comment of how Abraham Lincoln had a plot against him to be assassinated but where was the plot for Jesus to resurrect. (Craig) Professor Kirsopp Lake made the theory that all the women who went to Jesus’ tomb actually went to the wrong tomb. He says that the women had to watch Jesus be put into His tomb from a distance and without notes it would be terribly difficult to spot which tomb was really the tomb Jesus was buried in. Toledot Yeshu made the theory that Jesus’ body was taken from a third party. He believed that Jesus’ body was taken out of the tomb by a man named Juda. Juda was the gardener around Jesus’ tomb. Juda then blackmailed the disciples and dragged Jesus’ body through the streets of Jerusalem. There are other theories. Some say that Jesus’ disciples were hallucinating the whole time and only wanted to see Jesus so much that their mind tricked them into believing that Jesus was actually alive. Another is that the Romans took Jesus’ body to a different place such as a burial pit. They believe that if He was thrown in the burial pit that dogs would have eaten His body and that would be why there is not any evidence to be proven to this time. If this was true then

    He argues that people today greatly oversimplify Jesus and people put him in two categories. The first category is the “conservative belief”, in which Jesus has come to teach humans the way to get to heaven through his teachings and that Jesus is fully God. The second category is the “skeptic belief”, in which Jesus was just a remarkable man and teacher but did not do all the miracles. Wright argues that…

    Excavating Jesus Summary

    • 1523 Words

    However, the mausoleum of Augustus is only remotely linked to that of Jesus - and even so, linked only in the examining obvious social structures rather than the actual burial of Jesus. A chapter entirely devoted to how kings of other countries bury themselves is dull and irrelevant for the reader who would have already concluded from the previous chapters’ emphasis on Jesus being a Jew, that he was of course not buried in the grand tomb implied by the gospel texts or the large churches devoted to the Holy Sepulcher. The text then speculates on the type of burial Jesus would have had through examination of different burial types across the Mediterranean, but it draws no conclusions on fact. The conversation about what was meant by resurrection by first century Jews was a far more interesting topic that was unfortunately short in Excavating Jesus. The book would have a firmer grasp on who the historical Jesus was if it focused more deeply on the contexts immediately surrounding Jesus (other than the fact that he was a peasant Jew) and cut out the sections on information only marginally linked to the subject at…

    Jesus is God’s answer to the promises laid out in the Old Testament. Today, the majority understand that it is through his death and resurrection that we are covered, we understand that we “are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world” and to simply “follow Jesus Christ into the new world, God 's new world, which he has thrown open before us.” (Wright…

    IV. The Call for the Reconsideration of the Historicity of the Bodily Nature of Jesus’s Resurrection and Its Eschatological Implications Thus, I now turn to the matter of the historical credibility of Jesus’ “bodily resurrection” and its eschatological implications. Unlike Peacocke and Keller’s view of the bodily resurrection of Jesus, it is “credible” or “well-motivated belief” that the resurrection of Jesus was a “bodily” event that happened to Jesus based on the two traditions of many eyewitnesses and Jesus’ empty tomb. On the basis of these traditions, according to N.T. Wright, the early Christians understood the resurrection neither Jesus’ “perceived status in the ongoing church”, nor his “heavenly and exalted status”, nor “the passage of the human Jesus into the power of God”, but affirmed his “bodily resurrection.”…

    In congruence with David Migliore, “the resurrection of Christ stands at the center of the NT witness” (Faith Seeking Understanding, 191). The faith of Christianity falls if there is no resurrection, Paul asserted this in 1 Corinthians 15. Tom Wright rightly notes that the Gospel narratives do not focus on the resurrection until the end, whether it be an empty tomb or an interaction with the risen Lord. Then, from the epistles onward, the resurrection is the focal point of Christian proclamation. Paul states, “We preach Christ crucified…” (1 Corinthians 1:23).…

    The refusal to return is shown through the three days Jesus remained in the grave. Even though this is not a complete refusal, the three days fulfil the scripture “for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”(Matthew 12:40). After his three days in the grave, Jesus resurrects allowing Jesus to return to Earth he neither needed aid, rescue, or to flee from anything. He did not run away with the boon, but resurrected to give “…commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:2-3).…

    In The York Corpus Christi Play: The Crucifixion, Jesus speaks only two times in the three-hundred lines. The rest of the dialogue is between the four soldiers who are attempting to crucify him. There is an odd dark humor among the soldiers while they are crucifying Jesus. More interesting, however, is Jesus’ response to his crucifixion. The first time he speaks his words are directed at God only.…

    In order to uncover unknown information from an ancient civilization, archeologists usually do extensive digging and research in a specified area; however, to uncover truths about Jesus Christ, there was no removal of dirt, as the world 's most sold book was dug into. Although Christianity continues to be the most popular religion, scholars came together in a Seminar, seeking to find the provable truth, which leads to unpopular conclusions. Throughout the article entitled, The Gospel Truth? by David Van Biema, the question of Jesus and the two lenses through which we see him, faith and history, are explored, conclusions are made, and reactions are instant. Instead of believing by faith and tradition, the Jesus Seminar is an attempt to identify…
