Genuine Resurrections?

Jesus’ statement in Luke 16:31 bears directly on the claims of those who say they have died, gone to heaven, and then have been resurrected.  They are indeed claiming that they have been resurrected from the dead.  Jesus said, “If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.”  Why do people read such accounts?  What benefit do they get?  Those who reject the Gospel are probably seeking some evidence that heaven is real.  Jesus said that those who reject the testimony of God’s word will not be convinced even if someone is genuinely resurrected.  Christians should have no need to seek proof beyond the Bible.  The evidence of Scripture is sufficient for the believing heart.  I will have two more points on this tomorrow.
