Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or is there another explanation for the empty tomb?

In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 20:1-9 and examine the historical case for the resurrection. We look at the empty tomb, the eyewitness accounts, the women who first discovered it, the grave clothes, Jesus appearing after His death, and the dramatic transformation of His earliest followers.
We also examine other explanations such as grave robbery, hallucination, legend, and the idea that Jesus never truly died.
Because if Jesus really walked out of that tomb, it changes everything.
