耶稣复活的证据

Evidence of Jesus

我曾死过，现在又活了，直到永永远远……

—— 启 1:18

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore . . .
—Revelation 1:18

任何历史事件都有其特定的证据。若有质疑此事件的文献，需要可信的同时代的证据来证明。证明耶稣死而复活的证据比证明尤里乌斯·凯撒确有其人的证据，或者证明亚历山大大帝享年33岁的证据，要多得多。史学家们靠着蛛丝马迹的证据便可接受无数的历史事件，然而当他们面对耶稣基督的复活，这个巨大的事实时，他们却一致以怀疑的目光并持以理性的质疑。这难道不奇怪吗？对于很多人来说，问题在于他们不愿相信。他们不愿接受在圣经中显明的基督复活的伟大事实，并且这偏见是如此根深蒂固。

Certain laws of evidence hold in the establishment of any historic event. Documentation of the event in question must be made by reliable contemporary witnesses. There is more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than there is that Julius Caesar ever lived, or that Alexander the Great died at the age of 33. It is strange that historians will accept thousands of facts for which they can produce only shreds of evidence. But in the face of the overwhelming evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, they cast a skeptical eye and hold intellectual doubts. The trouble with many people is that they do not want to believe. They are so completely prejudiced that they cannot accept the glorious fact of the resurrection of Christ on Bible testimony alone.
