New Testament researchers have studied this and found that there are four established historical facts concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1st. The body of Jesus was honorably buried, laid in a tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, a leader of the Jewish Court at the time. 2nd.The tomb of Jesus was found empty by some his women followers. 3rd. Jesus made several postmortem appearances to individuals and groups of people. 4th His disciples suddenly believed in his resurrection. It must be noted under Jewish culture and belief, resurrection can only happen at the last day at the end of the world when all will be raised. Yet astonishingly, these Jewish disciples of Jesus suddenly came to believe in his resurrection and were willing to die for their belief in him. there are all these eyewitness accounts and other attestation establishing these facts of the resurrection and with no serious, credible or plausible natural explanation for these occurrences, we must then determine that the best explanation is to conclude that God the Father, raised Jesus from the dead. (see scriptures) Acts 13:30, Colossians 2:12, Romans 10:9, Galatians 1:1, Acts 3:15, Ephesians 1:20, Hebrews 11:19, acts 4:10, Romans 6:9, Romans 4:24 2nd Timothy 2 28, 1st Thessalonians 1:10, Romans 7:4, 1st Corinthians 15:20, Acts 10:40-41, Luke 24:46, Acts 26:23, John 21:14, Matthew 17:9, Matthew 28:7, 1st Peter 1:3
Yes he did and the tomb is still empty!
