Fact not fiction.( John 20 v 1- 29 )

 In   Solzhenitsyn book,'The Gulag Archipelago', the destructive- labour camps, brought in during the reign of  Stalin ,were people suffered untold misery,and millions died. He writes this,'In this book there are no  fictitious events. People and places are named with their own names.He received 227 letters from survivors who had  been in these camps,which was further evidence as to the horrors that took place.Now I want to use what he wrote as regards to the word of God,it is not a fictitious book,the events and people are all real.Consider Christ miracles ,they were witnessed by the disciples,and vast crowds , His healings were not fake,in Luke 17 v 11-19, 10 lepers were healed,and Jesus told them to go to priests,who would verify that they were healed CP  Leviticus 14 v2,His healings were  real ,witnessed by many.Think about our Lord's resurrection,which He foretold ( Matthew 16 vv23),in spite of that the disciples didn't believe until He revealed Himself after His resurrection .But what evidence is there of His resurrection?,we move to  1 Corinthians 15 v 3-8,in these verses the Apostle Paul writes,'That Jesus died for our sins  CP Isaiah 53/ Psalm 22 v 16 -18, Then he proceeds to the evidence of the resurrection,and he writes of those who witnessed seeing the risen Christ,and he mentions over 500 people,and then he includes himself ( Acts 9),these are the facts.
