The Resurrection of Jesus Christ- a Basis for our Faith: To study the Resurrection of Jesus, you must consider the claims that He made about Himself. He said that His death would set the world aright; that He would raise 72 hours later; and that He was perfect. The British Historian, Thomas Carlyle, once said, "The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none". Have you ever met a know-it-all, no one can stand to be around them. Yet, Christ made these claims about Himself, and there is only one conclusion; that Jesus was either a Good Nut, a Wise Crook, or Who He said He was, The Son of God! VF-0580 © Copyright 1988
