The resurrection of Christ was the most amazing day in earth’s history. It was the day when He made the greatest comeback ever. This comeback can convince anyone, even an atheist like Lee Strobel, an author, journalist, and legal editor of great renown. In his bestselling book, “The Case for a Miracle,” Strobel tells how he converted from being an atheist.

He reports that the conversion of his wife to Christianity drew him into examining the resurrection for two years. After completing his analysis of the historical data of Christ’s resurrection, Strobel discovered evidence that points to the fact that the resurrection was an actual historical event. This converted his heart to Christ.

Paul shares with us the importance of the resurrection. He says, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me” (1 Corinthians 15:3-8, ESV).
