Chiroptera,
I became convinced of the resurection by doing the following personal experiment. In doing prayer experiments with my family and some personal issues, I included testimony of the blood sacrifice of Yeshua and His resurrection in some of these prayers, but not in others. Because it is written that they "overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death." I wanted to see if including this information intensified the power of prayer. If so, I would be more inclined to believe the reports.
I quickly learned to make it a regular part of my praying, because of the remarkable power it manifested.
I don't say this to convince you, of course. As I understand the whole idea, "it is the glory of God to conceal this matter." Yeshua spoke in parables to hide the gist of what He was doing, so as not to convince the public. This truth, apparently, can only be ascertained person by person. It's relational, after all. No, I cannot and will not try to convince you. I can only tell you, that if you want to know, you can, with God's help, convince yourself.
