This postgame speech from Justin Fields about how God is real is worth 2 min of your time.
He went from crying in his closet this week after all the hardships of this year, to leading the New York Jets to their first win of the season.
Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a real event of history.
He is RISEN!
Skeptical? Here are 10 irrefutable historical facts that show the resurrection of Christ is real:
1) Jesus of Nazareth was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
This is one of the most agreed upon facts of ancient history. Pagan historians like Tacitus, Jewish chroniclers like Josephus, and early Christian sources all converge: Jesus was publicly executed by Roman authority.
No credible historian—Christian or atheist—denies it. The cross was not a theological metaphor; it was a state-sanctioned death penalty, delivered with maximum shame and finality.
2) He was buried in a known, accessible tomb.
The Gospels name Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Jewish council, as the man who buried Jesus. If this were a fabrication, using a public figure easily investigated by enemies would be self-defeating.
The early Christian creed in 1 Corinthians 15, dated by scholars like James D.G. Dunn to within 5 years of the crucifixion, affirms the burial. This isn’t myth. It’s memory.
3) The tomb was discovered empty by women.
In ancient Jewish society, a woman’s testimony was considered unreliable in court. If the resurrection story were invented, placing women at the center of the discovery would be absurd.
The only reason to report this detail is because it actually happened.
4) Christianity’s fiercest enemies became its loudest witnesses.
Paul (a Pharisee and persecutor) and James (Jesus’ skeptical brother) both claimed to have seen the risen Christ—and their lives were permanently, painfully reoriented.
Paul lost his power and prestige. James abandoned his former doubt and was stoned to death for proclaiming his brother as Lord. What changed them? Not a metaphor. A real encounter with the risen Christ.
5) The disciples were psychologically and morally transformed.
Before the resurrection, they fled, denied, and hid. Afterward, they stood in synagogues and before emperors declaring Jesus as Lord, knowing it would cost them everything.
They didn’t gain wealth or comfort. They gained whips, prisons, and martyrdom. Men don’t die for what they know is a lie—and they had every opportunity to recant.
6) Over 500 people saw Jesus alive—at once.
This is not folklore. Paul documents it in 1 Corinthians 15, saying “most are still alive,” effectively daring his readers to investigate.
Mass hallucinations do not happen to diverse individuals across multiple locations, including skeptics and enemies, over 40 days.
7) The resurrection was proclaimed immediately—not centuries later.
Unlike legends that slowly evolve, the resurrection was preached within weeks in the very city where Jesus was executed.
The early creed embedded in Paul’s letters wasn’t developed by theologians in ivory towers—it was carried in the mouths of fishermen, tax collectors, and former zealots who had seen something they couldn’t unsee.
8) The message launched from Jerusalem—the least convenient location.
If the tomb still had a body in it, Christianity would have been instantly crushed. The Romans and Jewish leaders had every incentive to expose the hoax.
But they couldn’t. Because there was no body to show. And from the epicenter of that threat, the gospel spread like wildfire.
If Jesus was dead, why not show the corpse and end the Christian movement?
9) No natural explanation fits the data.
Stolen body? Then the disciples died for a con they created.
Hallucination? Group sightings, physical contact, and shared meals contradict that.
Legend? There wasn’t time—eyewitnesses were still alive and correcting error.
Only one explanation covers it all: Jesus physically, bodily, historically rose from the dead.
10) The risen Christ continues to change lives today.
Jesus is the most significant historical figure ever. He defeated death, so you may live
Accept Jesus in your heart today. Jesus changes everything

"There’s something to him for sure."
Auburn coach Hugh Freeze was complimentary of how Hank Brown (@Hankb_15) played in waning moments of Saturday's @MusicCityBowl.
It could lead to more opportunities for the former @LAmustangFB QB in 2024:
