The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is a fact of history.  The empty tomb, the transformation of the disciples, the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ and the ministry that followed are all crowning proofs of Christianity. It is estimated that one-third of humanity today profess to believe in the resurrection. This is significant because most of the people in the world know that Jesus existed and if He had not risen from the dead, no one today would have ever heard of him. The eyewitnesses of Christ's resurrection believed on Him and became His powerful servants.
