“How foolish you are, how slow you are to believe everything the prophets said! Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and then to enter his glory”?
(Jesus Christ’s questioning of the near-total unbelief of his disciples, now breaking up as a group, for expecting a Messiah in their own image Luke 24: 13-27)
Here is the challenge for every serious seeker, with and without any religion, to prove or disprove, respectively, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, in the context within which it is said to have taken place.
Apparently, the challenge needs to be viewed in the context of what was said about Jesus in all the Scriptures, beginning with the books of Moses, the Book of Psalms and the writings of all the prophets without which the resurrection-defining context will be lost.
This is not an insurmountable task for serious seekers of truth!
Simon Peter, for one, seems to have been well-advised to apply the above conditions (Acts 2: 14-42).
