On occasion we encounter someone who says he has no ability to believe in Jesus. He has concluded that everything that was recorded is nothing but myths. Of course they usually admit after more discussion that they have little or no knowledge of the Bible.
Dr. Ryrie, by listing all the Resurrection appearances of Jesus as recorded in Scripture on page 1672 of the Ryrie Study Bible is making it easy for me to convey it to you.

The weight of evidence is there. Just listen for the kooky opinions and let them know that Christ came for their salvation – He died and He arose! He intercedes before God on theirs and our behalf.
