Nearly 2,000 years ago, when Jesus' first followers found his tomb empty after the crucifixion, no evidence could be produced to counter the disciples' claim: 'He is risen!' Neither the Roman soldiers nor the religious leaders of the day could disprove the resurrection and his many subsequent appearances confirmed it to over 500 people (1 Corinthians...
