Evidence is not necessarily proof. Evidence simply helps us establish facts to help us reach a verdict.
Some evidence can be so compelling that it is serves as proof but other times the evidence is like the pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, giving us a clearer picture with every piece we manage to place correctly.
When we talk about the Easter story we can think that the idea of Jesus Christ dying then being raised from the dead is either something you blindly believe or something you reject out of hand. We may think that with the events in question being so long ago that there’s no evidence to review to make an informed decision.
The fact is that if we look at writings from the time and at the Biblical records we can find evidence that needs to be taken seriously.
My regular Wednesday morning guest on 98.5 Sonshine FM is Rev Dr Ross Clifford who is the Principal of Morling College in New South Wales. Each week we chat about a range of issues relating to spirituality and belief.
Yesterday we discussed five pieces of evidence that many Christians and sceptics agree need to be evaluated if we’re looking to come to a conclusion on the authenticity of the claims of Jesus’ resurrection.

I find the conversation very informative and enlightening.
In my opinion, we really don’t need evidence to prove that Christ truly rose from the dead. It is not blind faith but faith.
