Here is the evidence for the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
We are presented with the evidence of eyewitnesses who are certain of what they saw.
Had Jesus only presented himself once to an individual or group that was overwhelmed with grief and emotion and then vanished from their lives, we might have reason to suspect that there experience was not real.
Had Jesus' disciples become rich and wealthy men by proclaiming the resurrection, living on book royalties and lauded by crowds of adoring fans, rather than being pursued, persecuted, harassed, mocked and ultimately executed, we could believe that they simply made the whole thing up.
Had Jesus' disciples shown even a hint of courage while he was still living rather than running like rabbits when he was arrested, we might believe that they were political idealists ready to die for a revolution even if the head of their revolution was already nothing but decayed remains.
The reality is that the disciples themselves doubted the first news of resurrection.
So the 40 days between the tomb and the ascension served to provide CERTAIN PROOF that Jesus had returned from the dead, not as a ghost or a spirit or an apparition, but in a physical body.
During these 40 days, Jesus changes the way that the disciples view reality, he proves his resurrection, he teaches them again about the kingdom, reminding them of what they had already heard, and he urges them to await the promised Holy Spirit.
