What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ mean?

The earliest manuscripts of Mark's Gospel end at verse 16:8, with the young man saying that Jesus is risen, and the women fleeing in terror, telling no one. Clearly the resurrection is important, because the "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-25) was added much later to provide resurrection appearances. Although each gospel provides quite different accounts of just what happened after the resurrection of Jesus, Christians believe that the resurrection means that Jesus is the Son of God.

How do the Gospels try to show us that the resurrection of Jesus was a historical event not just something the apostles made up?

Mark's Gospel originally did not contain any material that attempted to show that the Resurrection of Jesus was a historical event. It originally ended at verse 16:8, after the young man told the women that Jesus was risen, and the fled, telling no one. Because this left open the possibility that there was no actual Resurrection, the "Long Ending" (there was also at one stage a "Short Ending") was added much later, to show that the Resurrection was real, not simply made up by the apostles.The Gospels of Matthew and Luke are now known to have been based on Mark, but each evangelist had to contend with the fact that their source did not tell them anything about the supposed Resurrection. Each evangelist wrote an account of the Resurrection and each tried, in different ways, to show that Jesus really had risen. Matthew reported the elders giving money to the guard, to say that his disciples came by night and took his body, and that this claim was still to be heard among the Jews to this day - if a Jew ever said this during the decades that followed, it would have been 'proof' of the Gospel. Luke relies on a graphic account of the appearance of Jesus to the apostles, showing them his wounds and eating some fish - although this could easily have been something the apostles made up. Luke also has Jesus ascend bodily to heaven, avoiding questions about what happened to Jesus after his Resurrection appearances.John's Gospel does not really concern itself directly with proving that the Resurrection was a historical event. Indirectly, the ability to raise Lazarus, along with the frequent assertions that Jesus was God, would have been seen as proving that Jesus was capable of rising from the dead.

Why do some people not believe in the resurrection of Jesus?

In the earliest manuscripts of Mark's Gospel, there was no mention of any appearances of the resurrected Jesus. The Gospel finished at verse 16:8, with the women fleeing in fear and telling no one that the tomb was empty. What is called the "Long Ending" (there was also a "Short Ending") was added much later by an interpolator.Scholars now know that the authors of the other New Testament gospels relied on Mark's Gospel for everything they knew about the life and mission of Jesus. Yet each one described the risen Jesus as meeting the disciples at different times and places, with remarkably little consistency. It strains belief that evangelists knew nothing about the life of Jesus before his resurrection, copying what the knew from Mark, yet could tell us in detail about the resurrected Jesus. And it strains belief even more, that each account differs fundamentally from the others, yet all are true.People who do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus do so because there is no credible evidence that it really happened.
