A man raising from the dead? Sounds odd doesn't it? Well it doesn't from my point of veiw. Jesus raising from the dead means He preached right and by Him dying on the cross my soul is saved. But how do we know he was actually raised from the dead? Didn't they just find His bones? FALSE! The box they found bones in has been there for centuries and the fact it has been ignored means it's nothing big. Also how could His bones be there if He rose from the dead?
Okay yeah to the skeptics it sounds wierd. Someone could just gone in and taken the bones couldn't they? NOPE! Wanna know why? Here's why:
1. Roman Guard
The Roman Guard stationed around the tomb was no little man. They took their job seriously. You fall asleep you die. Also the Roman Guard usually consisted of sixteen big, strong, alert, well trained men and a capitan. Now tell me how the disciles could have gotten past all sixteen men, moved a boulder wieghing almost a ton and stolen all sixteen fell asleep? Remember the penalty? Death. Not likely. Well it's twleve men that moved the boulder! They were, I'm sorry, wimps! No muslce even if they were fishermen.
2.The Face Cloth
When people were buried in Jesus' time a face cloth was put over their head and face to smother the smell of the flesh a bit. It usually had been scented. Now then tell me why would anyone robbing a grave, if they got in, would go to the trouble of folding the cloth and setting it aside of the other linens. That would be like you going to rob a house and before you left doing some vacuuming and dusting! Does that make sense to you? No? Didn't think so. Jesus would though to let someone know He was alive and kickin'
3.Eyewitnesses
Yes they may lie to get something now but think about how many people saw Jesus after He rose from the dead. First two then fourteen then it went up to 500 people. Yes people may lie to gian something but not all 500 would. There would always be one or two that tell the truth. He rose and this is only the edge of the cliff of evidence.

Notes from friends:
1.Some people say it was just an hallucination. Well, 500 people seeing the same hallucination at the exact same time is more of a miracle than the resurrection itself!
