Resurrection Sunday

Once again we have the coming holiday of when we observe the death, burial, and resurrection of the Messiah. One of the main ideas of the people that do not believe in Christianity and want to discredit the faith is to talk nonsense about the body of Yashua being found at some obscure place. This does not in actuality have any basis in fact. Evidence of this can shown by just the idea of the story changing almost yearly of their so called discoveries of finding the his body.

Some of the recent so called discoveries was in 2007 when the NY times announced the body had been found. And Just last year a European paper claimed the body had been found in 2010. The truth is that neither accounts are accurate. So just keep looking Anti-Christs, there is no doubt you will not find his remains because he did rise again. I can say this with certainty because the Pharacies looked with tenacity to find his body after he rose again 2000 years ago. Matthew 28:12-15 , with other passages talk about his resurrection and a bribe that the soldiers were offered by the Jews.

In the Jewish writing Toldot Yeshu p.10 it talks about the gardener taking the body and burying it in the sand nearby, and later showing it to the Jews. This is an unbelievable story because the Jews wanted to destroy Christianity. Finding the body would have been the proof positive they needed to "nip it in the bud"  so to speak. At that time the Jews had political power and money (as they do now) to make the finding of his body happen. So where is it? So my advice to my enemies (those who wish to discredit Christians) is to find the body and the faith will no longer exist. They couldn't find it then and they can't find it now.

Other evidence lies in the deaths of the disciples that followed Yashua Messiah that saw him after he arose. I know this to be true because they all were killed except for one and all never denied or recanted their story in any way. If the people who were there saw him and were willing to die for what they saw and experienced, then shouldn't we should take it on faith that they actually believed he arose?

This is a list of how his Apostles were killed, all had a chance to recant their story:
Andrew- Died on the cross.
Bartholomew- Was flayed alive.
James- (son of Zebedee)- was beheaded.
Simon- Was crucified.
Paul- Was beheaded by Nero.
James- (son of Alpheaus) was beaten to death.
Thomas- Was run through with a lance.
Matthias- Was stoned and then beheaded.
Mathew- Was slain by the sword.
Peter- Was crucified head downward.
Thaddeus- Was shot to death with arrows.
Phillip- Was hanged.
Judas- Committed suicide.

Only John escaped martydom!

Praise the Lord for his redemption of his kinsmen Israel!
