The central tenant of Christianity is the resurrection. If the resurrection didn't happen then Christianity is false and Christians believe a lie. Because if Jesus didn't rise from the dead He was not the Son of God. Given that all of the Christian faith hangs on Jesus rising from the dead is there any evidence to support it? As it turns out there is and many people, including me, find it quite convincing.
There are many, many resources on the historical accuracy of the resurrection of Jesus. Here is a summary entitled "Evidence for the Resurrection Of Christ in a Nutshell".
If Jesus died on the cross as payment for your sins and mine and He was resurrected 3 days later isn't it worth checking his claims out and what he says about how you get to heaven? Let's all contemplate that as we celebrate Easter this year.
