Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the resurrection of Jesus so important in the Bible?+

The resurrection is the foundation of Christian faith because it confirms Jesus's divinity, demonstrates His power over death, validates His teachings and promises, and makes possible the salvation and eternal life offered to believers. Without the resurrection, Christianity would not exist as we know it (1 Corinthians 15:14-17).

Do all four Gospels describe the resurrection the same way?+

While all four Gospels confirm that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, they include different details about who discovered the empty tomb, what the angel(s) said, and the order of Jesus's appearances. These variations are consistent with eyewitness accounts and are not contradictions—they emphasize different aspects of the same historical event.

What does it mean that Jesus rose 'on the third day'?+

Jesus was crucified on Friday (the day before the Sabbath), remained in the tomb on Saturday (the Sabbath), and rose on Sunday morning, the first day of the week. In biblical counting, this is counted as 'the third day' because both Friday and Sunday are counted, along with the full day of Saturday in between.
