Jesus told His disciples multiple times that He would suffer, die, and rise again.

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things... and be killed, and be raised the third day.
2. The Resurrection Fulfills Prophecy
Jesus' resurrection was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
Isaiah 53:10-11 (NKJV):
When You make His soul an offering for sin... He shall prolong His days… By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many.
3. The Resurrection Happened
The Gospels record the event of the resurrection in detail.
Matthew 28:5–6 (NKJV):
But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
Mark 16:6 (NKJV):
“He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.”
Luke 24:6–7 (NKJV):
“He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you...”
4. Jesus Appeared After the Resurrection
Jesus appeared to many after He rose, proving He was alive.
1 Corinthians 15:3–6 (NKJV):
Christ died for our sins… He was buried, and… rose again the third day… He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once.
5. The Resurrection Brings Life
Because Jesus rose, all who believe in Him have eternal life.
John 11:25–26 (NKJV):
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live."
Romans 6:9 (NKJV):
Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
