When you look at the past, you may wonder, How do we know that Jesus actually died before He was placed in the grave? How can we be sure that His dead body came back to life? In answer, try this question about yourself, Can I be sure of my own birth date? Think of any important event or person of the past. How do you know about that person or event? You depend on reports and records. All that we know of history - and much of our personal lives - comes from such sources. Every day all of us depend on such records. We rely on the reports of those who were there and who saw what happened. We call them eyewitnesses. The reports they give are called testimony. They are especially important when trying to find out important facts, such as when a person is on trial. This is the same reliable way we begin to learn about Jesus Christ. Jesus follower Peter, for example, spoke as an eyewitness. On the Jewish holiday of Pentecost, Peter and his fellow-witnesses spoke to people familiar with Jesus, including the very people who had put Jesus to death. Here is Peters testimony: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by Gods set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross. But God raised Him from the dead... God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact #mateh
