The Bodily Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ Is Doubted By Many Today. Though doubted by many so-called Pastors in many churches of the U.S.A. and around the world, it is clearly taught in 1 Corinthians 15 and elsewhere in the New Testament. The Angel Of The Lord Was A Witness. When the two Mary's came to Christ's tomb early on the first day of the week, the angel of the Lord told them "He is not here: for He is risen . . . come, see the place where the Lord lay" (Matthew 28:6). More Than "500 Brethren at once" Were Also Witnesses. (1 Corinthians 15:6). Many of those brethren were still alive when Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians. What greater witness is needed to establish Christ's bodily resurrection? Eleven Apostles Were Witnesses. At the second Sunday evening service, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared before them in the upper room. Even Thomas was there on that occasion though absent the week before. The Apostle Paul Was A Witness. The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to Paul from Heaven when he was on his way to imprison Christians at Emmaus. Paul asked "Who art thou, Lord?" The Lord Jesus Christ replied, "I am Jesus Whom thou persecutest." (Acts 9:5).
