About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and presents evidence for its authenticity through the testimony of the disciples.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ presents humanity with an unavoidable choice: accept it as the greatest truth ever proclaimed or dismiss it as history's most elaborate deception. Charles Colson, one of the Watergate Seven, provides compelling evidence for its authenticity by comparing the disciples' forty-year testimony under persecution to the inability of twelve powerful men to maintain their Watergate lie for even three weeks. If the disciples were fabricating the resurrection, they would never have endured decades of beatings, torture, imprisonment, and death for what they knew to be false.
