The Resurrection of Jesus: This Changes Everything

Have you ever wondered about the story of Jesus’ resurrection, how he came back to life? It’s the most amazing part of the Christian faith, but for many intelligent people, it can also be the hardest to believe. “How could someone really come back from the dead?” you may ask. It doesn’t make sense with what we know about bodies and life!”

Doubts and questions about the Resurrection are quite normal. On the one hand, many other people aren’t quite sure about this part of the story. On the other hand, you might be worried that doubt means you are not a “good” Christian or that your faith is weak. But here’s an essential truth: doubt is a normal part of faith, not a sign that your faith is lacking. It’s okay for your faith to have ups and downs and for you to have questions about things that don’t line up the way we often view the world. After all, there are many things in our world that we can’t fully explain, even with all our science.

This guide, “The Resurrection of Jesus: This Changes Everything,” is not meant to convince you of just how the Resurrection happened or give you a perfect scientific explanation. Rather, we’re going on yet another “unburdening” adventure. We will look at the story of The Resurrection of Jesus, not by trying to prove every detail, but by looking at what the early disciples thought about what was happening. We’ll discover why they were so sure of the Resurrection and what this important event really means for us. You’ll find that believing in the Resurrection has a much larger meaning for your life and for the world than just one man becoming alive again. Our hope is that you’ll discover a richer, more meaningful understanding of this powerful story that sets your faith free to grow, even with your questions.
