Where in the Bible does it say that Christ has risen?

I think we are all familiar with the image of finding Christ in the sky and being like, hah, I'm not actually dead, now go eat a bunch of ham and find my hidden Easter Eggs.

I know that there is a passage in one of the gospels where they roll back the rock and find that he is gone. But that doesn't mean Jesus is risen. It just means he's gone. Are there any passages that actually talk about Jesus's resurrection?

    Oh there are several different stories. To whom did Jesus make his first post-resurrection appearance?

    The two Marys

    Matthew 28:1, 9

    In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.... And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

    Mary Magdalene

    Mark 16:9

    Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

    John 20:11-14

    But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping ... and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

    Cleopas and another

    Luke 24:13-31

    And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus.... And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? ... And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

    Cephas

    1 Corinthians 15:4-5

    And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve.

    Absolutely, and in some cases, even proving His own active participation in His own resurrection. Take for instance John 2:19-22 (c.f. John 10:17-18), "Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.' The Jews then said, 'It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?' But He was speaking about the temple of His body. When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken."

    There are 4 different accounts of it.

    Christian said they HARMONIZED. I say each one is telling a totally different story.

    Even his birth is contradictory....

    Neither your assertion is actual, nor most of the answerer's perspectives are nicely suited. no person has ever forecasted something approximately destiny. No faith has ever defined different faith for worse people. Its the people who explains it in any different case. None people have the nicely suited to call another a Mleccha. All religions are solid if accompanied wisely.

    this is where it gets a little sketchy. he apparently went and talked with his friends and disciples, and then rose into heaven. so it was a small group of devotees who actually witnessed him coming back. not exactly the most unbiased source of information, but their zeal over that event was enough to convince billions of people over two thousand years that it was true. that does count for something.
