1 John 1:2 (KJV)
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
I’m thinking about Exodus 20:16 (KJV): Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. The Ten Commandments of the Word of God are considered the basis of all civilized nations. Even Communist Russia governs under the foundation of these laws. Who can deny such moral truths as, “Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal”? And among them, the foundation upon which all law is built: “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.”
It’s how the work of the police detective is conducted—he seeks witnesses to criminal events and applies reasoning to determine whether that witness is valid. It’s the tool of both the prosecution and the defense attorneys. They seek to either confirm or dismiss a witness’s credibility. To perjure—to bear false witness—is criminal, almost equal to the crime under investigation and litigation.
What a lost world doesn’t grasp is how this rule of law, the witness, reflects the very character of God. I do believe in the resurrection of Christ by faith. But my faith is not blind, ignorant, or superstitious. There were witnesses. Those witnesses proved themselves to be credible. As legitimate as any legal case—more so because we’re dealing with the infallible and omnipotent God—is the evidence of the resurrection of Christ.
Christ lived a sinless life, died a vicarious death, rose again on the third day, and ascended to heaven in the sight of many witnesses. Those witnesses proved to be credible. The One they bore witness of is God, and He promised to return for those who place their trust in Him.
I rest my case.

Truth on Trial: I Rest My Case for Christ
The resurrection of Jesus Christ isn’t just a matter of faith—it’s a matter of credible testimony.
From the Ten Commandments’ command to “not bear false witness” to the eyewitnesses who saw the empty tomb, God’s truth stands unshakable. In a world where lies spread quickly, the evidence of the risen Christ remains the most reliable case in history.
