The establishment of the church (Acts 2:30-32 “Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

The NT itself— “If Jesus had remained buried in the grave, the story of his life and death would have remained buried with Him” (Evans quoted by Theissen 247)
