Welcome back to the Eternal Life Podcast, a safe space for you to ask reasonable questions about the existence of Jesus, without judgment. Today we are continuing with part three of question five: What evidence is there that Jesus rose from the dead? Previously, we discussed the first four pieces of evidence of the resurrection and in this episode, we delve into reasons five through seven proving that Jesus rose from the dead. 

Not only were Jesus’ disciples tortured and murdered for their beliefs, but many Jewish people broke away from traditions in favor of Jesus after this event. The Christian church also became massively popular after the resurrection. These are just a few of the pieces of evidence of the resurrection. So let’s dive into these three reasons to believe that Jesus rose from the dead. 

• The people who were closest to Jesus, His disciples, were willing to die gruesome deaths for their belief that He rose from the dead. 
• How we know that the disciples didn’t make the resurrection up after the fact. 
• Some Jewish people made radical changes to their traditions in favor of Jesus, putting them at risk of eternal damnation and being ousted by society. 
• Following the resurrection, there was massive growth and spread of the Christian church suggesting that people wholeheartedly believed that He rose.
