THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS : WHY I THINK IT IS REAL

Two days from now, Christians from all over the world will be celebrating Easter. The day commemorates the resurrection of Jesus after dying on the cross. Without the resurrection, Christianity ceases to be true. But is the resurrection of Jesus 100% true ?
I firmly believe that the resurrection of Jesus did occur because of two reasons. One, there were people who saw  Jesus alive after dying on the cross. The gospels are one in saying that Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to several people. Two, Jews could have easily destroyed the belief in the resurrection if it truly did not occur. The Jews took the time and effort to prove the resurrection was merely a figment of the imagination of Jesus' followers  to prove their belief that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. But the belief in the resurrection of Jesus survives to this day. Skeptics have not found a way to debunk the resuurection to this day.
As Easter draws near, I remember that Jesus is a living God. And that my God has overcome death. How then can I go wrong with Jesus ?
