5 Evidences That the Resurrection of Jesus is Not a Fairy Tale

“Once upon a time . . .” or “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . .”, these are how fairy tales typically start. If you grew up in or around church, you have probably heard the story of Jesus, how He was God’s son, how He died on a cross, and how He rose from the dead on the third day. Christianity itself rises or falls on the resurrection of Jesus. More than traditions, creeds or even ancient texts, the event of the resurrection itself is the lynchpin upon which everything else rests. As the Apostle Paul put it himself, “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile” (1 Corinthians 15:17). Paul knew that if the resurrection of Jesus was a hoax, a legend or even just a fairy tale to inspire future generations, the rest of Christianity would crumble, like a skyscraper built on sinking sand with no foundation. It’s all about the resurrection of Jesus.
