The religious leaders made certain he was buried.
The Soldiers guarded the tomb

Christ’s Resurrection was Attested

His appearances were verified proof!
It was all in accordance with the Scripture
The Sign of Jonah
Psalm 16:8–11 “8 I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. 10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. 11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.”

It Brings Radical Change to Those Who Believe

Paul was Confronted with the Reality of the Risen Christ

He was persecuting the church.
Now he has received mercy and grace to be an apostle.
1 Timothy 1:12–17 NASB95
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Radical Change come by God’s Grace and Mercy

We are where we are by grace.
Paul was an apostle by God’s grace and it was that grace shown toward him that radically changed him.
