THE QUESTION....ANSWERED !!

     Professor C. E. M. Joad of the University of London was once asked, "If you could meet anyone of the past and had to ask him the most important questions in the world -- Whom would you wish to meet?"

     And what question would you ask?  Professor Joad replied "Jesus Christ" and the question I would ask Him is "Did you really rise from the dead?"

     This is certainly the most important question in the world.  Why?  Because if Jesus did not rise from the dead, how could any of the millions of this world hope to conquer death, to rise from their graves and live eternally.  There would be no hope for mankind, if Jesus did not rise from the dead.  All of our hopes would be in vain, empty and useless, and all believers and Christians would be living in a fool's paradise of Make-Believe; hoping, yet devoid of any reason to hope.

     As a lawyer I do declare that the evidence is clear, irrefutable and points unmistakably to a positive YES.  Yes, Jesus did rise from the dead.

     In order to arrive at this conclusion, let us set out the evidence, let us not restrict it to the narrow confines of the question under consideration.  Let us approach it from a broad base, under seven (7) heads.

1. Did Jesus live?
2. Was Jesus placed on trial for His life?
3. What trial was accorded Jesus?
(a)  The Plot
(b)  Why the Plot failed
(c)  Jesus on trial
(d)  Jesus before Annas
(e)  Jesus before Caiaphas
(f)  Jesus before Pilate
4. Was Jesus crucified - dead and buried?
5. Was His tomb found empty?
6. What is the evidence for His resurrection?
7. Is Jesus alive today?
