He Is NOT Here ----- JESUS Has Risen! JESUS is ALIVE!!!

Jesus's body was buried in Jerusalem.

 

How does that point help us? Think about where Christianity started: Jerusalem. 

The disciples went out and preached the message of the risen Jesus in the same city where Jesus was publicly crucified and buried. It would have been easy to crush this movement of unruly fishermen by simply going to Jesus's tomb, pulling out the body, and exposing the followers of Jesus as liars. 

Both the Romans and the Jews were fed up with this new group of Jesus followers, and they could have easily produced the remains of Jesus's body to quench the Christian movement had the tomb not been empty. 

But this never happened. The body of Jesus was never produced from the tomb in an attempt to undermine the movement of Jesus followers, nor were there any counter-narratives arguing that the tomb was still occupied.
