I Want to Believe—But How Can I Know?

How can we know the resurrection actually happened?

A listener sent me that question. They’ve read the research and considered the arguments. They want to believe. They just can’t seem to get all the way there.

Maybe you understand that.

The first disciples did. When Jesus appeared to them, they were frightened and confused. Some of them doubted what they were seeing. Jesus didn’t criticize them or demand immediate certainty. He stayed with them.

There are good historical reasons to believe Jesus rose from the dead. But no argument can eliminate every question. You don’t have to force yourself to feel certain or pretend to believe more than you do.

Maybe faith begins with a more honest prayer:

“Jesus, if you are alive, meet me here.”
