What is the greatest proof of Jesus' resurrection?
The greatest proof of Jesus' resurrection is the man Peter himself. Before the resurrection, Peter denied Christ with oaths out of fear. Afterward, he and the apostles displayed a boldness no one could shake. That transformation stands as resurrection power and evidence.
Les teaches that if there is one proof of resurrection that stands above all others, it is the man Peter himself. On the night of the arrest and conviction, Peter betrayed Jesus and swore with an oath that he did not know Him, and the disciples scattered in fear for their lives. But after the resurrection, they had a boldness no one could shake, and that is the proof of resurrection. Les applies this to believers: we should be so bound in the hope and power of resurrection that we are not afraid of what can be done to this body of flesh. We should have no fear of death, because death is only temporary because of resurrection power. That is where the twelve men were: nothing scared them, not Rome, not the Jews, because of resurrection power, the proof of it.
