The '''Resurrection of Jesus Christ''' was a singular event in history where [[Jesus]] was brought back from the dead by [[God the Father]] three days after his [[crucifixion]] and death on the cross, according to [[The Gospels]]. This event is celebrated by [[Christians]] worldwide on [[Easter]]. The [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] Michael Horner of [[Campus Crusade for Christ|CRU]] has an excellent resource which offers a defense of the resurrection of the Jesus Christ entitled [http://www.michaelhorner.com/articles/resurrection/index.html Did Jesus really rise from the dead?]. In addition, Dr. [[Gary Habermas]] offers [http://www.garyhabermas.com/audio/audio.htm an online audio library which defends the resurrection of Jesus Christ.]
==Biblical Record==
It was soon after the darkest hour, not three days had passed. Women were weeping, men had turned their faces away. All his followers assumed they would never see Him again.
<blockquote>
[[Ascension of Christ|The Ascension]] of Our Lord, which occurred 40 days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Easter Sunday, is the final act of our redemption that Christ began on Good Friday. On this day, the risen Christ, in the sight of His apostles, ascended bodily into Heaven (Luke 24:51; Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9-11). <ref>[http://catholicism.about.com/od/holydaysandholidays/p/Ascension.htm Ascension of Our Lord.]</ref>

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is critical to the Christian faith. The [[Apostle Paul]] wrote, "if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain" (I Cor:15:14). Traditionally, Christianity has believed in a physical resurrection of Jesus Christ. <ref>[http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/cri/cri-jrnl/crj0056a.txt "I Believe...in the Resurrection of the Flesh"]</ref>
In the field of the defense of Christianity, which is known as [[Christian apologetics]], there have been [[Christian Apologetics and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ|many scholars who have provided numerous reasons for believing in the authenticity of the resurrection of Christ]]. For example, Legal legal scholars, legal authorities, and eminent lawyers such as [[Simon Greenleaf]], John Warwick Montgomery, Lord Darling, John Singleton Copley, [[Hugo Grotius]], Lord Caldecote, J. N. D. Anderson, [[Lionel Luckhoo]], and many others have asserted that western legal standards argue for the resurrection of Christ.<ref>
