Resurrection: Authority, Demonstration, Proof

No. 210

And especially the resurrection of the person himself in proof of his own authority, foretold by the person that he would rise and thereby give demonstration of it. For seeing it must be done by God, as we have shown, it is as incredible that he should show so extraordinary a favor to an impostor, as that he should interpose his power to confirm a falsehood. Besides, when the person is dead there is an utter impossibility of cheating and juggling; if Christ deceived persons' senses when he was alive, he surely did not when he was dead. Witches' juggling is at an end when they are dead. - WJE 13:395
