LET’S GO DEEPER:

1. When you ponder your faith, or when you face doubts, what is the bottom line for you—what is your anchor? How do you give a brief answer to, Why are you a Christian?

2. If you wanted to make up a story about a man being resurrected from the dead, how would it differ from Mark’s account of Jesus’ resurrection? Why is the difference actually evidence that Mark’s account is true?

3. How does the martyrdom of ten of the apostles provide evidence for the resurrection?

4. Hypothetically, what could the Romans or Jews have done that would have disproved the testimonies to the resurrection and stopped the Christian religion before it started? Why did they not do those things?

5. How do the conversions of James and Paul testify to the resurrection of Christ?

6. How does your own heart and personal experience give testimony to the resurrection of Christ?
