FULL SERMON NOTES!: https://cdn.sanity.io/files/l5km0p6r/production/7e5d5c5240d18ab1481aa9ea987cc7efbe19353f.pdf

Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

What if the resurrection of Jesus isn't just a matter of faith — but also a matter of history? In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Robert walks through the historical and eyewitness evidence for the resurrection, then introduces us to three witnesses whose stories will challenge and encourage your faith today.

What You’ll Learn:
1. Why the empty tomb is one of history's most well-attested facts

2. Five lines of historical evidence for the resurrection

3. Three very different people who encountered the risen Jesus — and what their stories mean for you

Meet the Three Witnesses:
1. Mary Magdalene — She came looking for a dead Jesus and found a living one. Her story is for anyone carrying grief, loss, or heartbreak this Easter.

2. John — He looked at the evidence inside the empty tomb and believed before he ever saw the risen Christ. His story is for the skeptic, the thinker, the person who needs a reason.

3. Thomas — He refused to believe without proof, and Jesus came back just for him. His story is for the honest doubter who is still in the room.

Historical Evidence Covered:
1. The empty tomb — Jewish leaders, Roman soldiers, and disciples all agreed it was empty

2. Eyewitness testimony — Paul's account of over 500 witnesses, written within 20 years

3. Non-Christian historians — Josephus, Tacitus, and Pliny the Younger

4. The Sunday worship shift — devout Jews abandoning the Sabbath within weeks of the resurrection

5. The transformation of the disciples — from hiding behind locked doors to dying for what they witnessed

Whether you came to church today carrying grief like Mary, questions like John, or honest doubt like Thomas — this message is for you.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
