Below is something from the student study bible that I have :
"You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this." Acts 3:15
Seeing a ghost doesnt make a person stronger and more confident. The witness is usually reluctant to talk about the experience. Self-doubt attacks in waves :Was it real? Maybe I was hallucinating.. It was so dark and eerie. When Jesus showed up after his death, his disciples went through a Did-we-see-a-ghost? phase, complete with terror, disbelief and wild rumours. But it didnt last long. In 40 days, Jesus made enough undeniable appearances to convince each of his disciples-even skeptical Thomas- that he had indeed overthrown death. As Acts shows, the disciples began acting the opposite of people who think they've seen a ghost. Rather, they acted like people who had just witnessed the most astounding event in all history. They couldnt wait to tell the whole world about it!!
Think about it.. if Jesus died and not resurrected, he was a ghost or some spirit, would his disciples or christians around the world today have done what they did? "Jesus answered, "I am the
way and the
truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
