Resurrection-Miracles Do Happen

Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.

Have you ever heard someone who doesn’t believe in the resurrection of Christ say something like, “We never see people rising from the dead, so it seems ridiculous that Jesus rose from the dead”?  If you have, you have encountered one of the oldest and most-used arguments against the truth of the resurrection.

There is a lot to be said in response, but let us focus in on one detail.  Most people who make that argument begin by believing that miracles don’t happen.  Then they argue that they never see miracles, therefore, the miracle of the resurrection never occured.  This is called reasoning in a circle, and it proves nothing.  They first believe miracles don’t happen, then they argue they have never seen a miracle, then they conclude miracles never happened.

In fact, because God exists, miracles can and do occur.  One of the most significant and provable of which is the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
