Jerusalem Location

Pastor Jason examines historical and biblical evidence that the proclamation of Jesus’ resurrection began in Jerusalem—the most difficult place for a fabricated story to take hold. He surveys Luke and Acts, Matthew’s account of guards at the tomb, Tacitus’ external confirmation, and archaeological and documentary indications that support the claim. Drawing a cumulative case, the episode argues that the spread of belief in Jerusalem, combined with the guarded tomb narrative and contemporary records, makes theft or hoax explanations unlikely and strengthens the historical claim of the resurrection.
