So that at the end of it all, when we see him in that pregnant scene of revelation and we cast the crowns before him of saying, it's all been you from start to finish.

You never let us down.

You never walked away from us.

To Christ alone be the glory.

If the authorities wanted to put an end to all of this, all they had to do was go get the body.

We know that Pilate knew where it was.

He sent out guards to guard the tomb.

That's all they had to do.

And yet they never did.

And the disciples kept preaching.

Few people in American history had the wit of Mark Twain, and one of his more memorable aphorisms was, faith is believing what you know ain't so.

And I think that's how most people look at faith today.

It's set in contrast to knowledge.

There's faith and then you know things and you just have to have faith in yourself and that all stems from the same root.

And what I want us to see as we begin to look at the evidence for the resurrection is that understanding of faith is the very antithesis of what the scriptures tell us faith is.

For example,

Hebrews 11, faith is being sure of what you hope for, certain of what you do not see.

And so in our time together, we want to ask ourselves, how can we know the resurrection is true?

Is there evidence for it?

And if so, what is it?
