Risen: The Undeniable Truth of the Resurrection, pt 1
Mar 23, 2025 • Pastor Doug Kirkman
Jesus' death by crucifixion is a historical fact accepted by virtually all scholars. His real, physical death is necessary for the resurrection to be viable. IOW, if Jesus didn’t die, then He certainly wasn’t resurrected! But the truth is the Gospel writers understood the purpose of crucifixion, and for the last 2000 years, scholars have studied the process of what happens when someone is crucified. They all wholeheartedly agree…the victim died!
This may sound insensitive, but that is great news for us! Because if Jesus died, and without a doubt He did, then we have hope in His resurrection!
