John Stott: Did Jesus really rise from the dead? - The Final Cambridge Mission Part 3
The Bible Matters PodcastShow Notes
Did Jesus really rise from the dead? In this classic talk, John Stott explores both the historical evidence for the resurrection and its life-changing significance. Examining the empty tomb, the appearances of the risen Jesus, and the dramatic emergence of the early church, Stott argues that the resurrection is not merely a Christian belief but the foundation upon which Christianity stands. More than an historical claim, the resurrection transforms how we understand the past, experience the present, and face the future. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then it changes everything. In this episode: Did Jesus' tomb really end up empty? What happened to the body of Jesus? What difference does the resurrection make to life today? What does it mean to live in the power of the risen Christ? The Bible Matters Podcast is funded entirely by the generous donations of its listeners.
