The Plot

Series: To the Cross

The Plot

April 19, 2020 | Mike Stancak

Passage: Matthew 28:9-15

Almost all scholars believe in the empty tomb of Jesus of Nazareth; they just disagree on the cause.  This week we look at one of the earliest objections to the resurrection as the chief priests and Pharisees blame the disciples for stealing Jesus' body.  As we explore the text, we will explore the use of apologetics and encounter a number of barriers to honestly considering the truth of resurrection.  At the end of the day, the question of the resurrection is one of the most important we will explore, because if it is true, then our whole view of the world must change.
