What kind of people witnessed the resurrection? It would be safe to say that they were sinners just like the rest of us. But it would also be safe to say that they did not just make up the story. They did not financially profit by it. In fact, history bears out that these people suffered and sometimes greatly so for declaring what they had seen. In my mind such integrity strengthens the witness of their words. When all is said and done, the disciples who claimed to have witnessed the miracle of Christ were by word and deed trustworthy people. Why would we not believe them and in turn believe in Christ who chose them?
