The Resurrection: Eyewitness Accounts

The resurrection of Jesus was the most pivotal event in history. Without it, the redemption story would have ended in the tomb, history would have been radically different, and the Christian faith would be without hope. For these reasons, Paul documented a selective list of eyewitness accounts to substantiate the truth of the Resurrection. In this sermon, Alistair Begg examines the reliability of the evidence. When doubts arise, we can be reassured by recalling Christianity’s historical basis.

Life after Death

1 Corinthians 15:1–58 Series ID: 23601


3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
