📖 Introduction

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, a miraculous event that validates Jesus' divine nature and offers hope beyond death. Among the numerous accounts of Jesus appearing after His resurrection, one account stands out due to the sheer number of witnesses: Jesus appeared to over 500 people at one time. This overwhelming testimony provides powerful evidence that the resurrection was real, historical, and transformational.

Why is this important? Because the resurrection changes everything — it confirms Jesus as Lord and Savior, defeats death and sin, and promises eternal life to all who believe.
