A German theologian's claim that Jesus' body rotted in the tomb raises questions about the Christian faith. If the body was indeed eaten by vultures and jackals, why didn't the Jewish leaders produce it to discredit Jesus as the Messiah?

The body of Jesus rotted in the tomb if it was not eaten before then by vultures and jackals. Hi, this is Lon Solomon, and this was said by a German theologian whose name I can't pronounce anyway. But here's the point. If this guy is correct, then why didn't somebody in the first century produce the half-eaten body of Jesus and bring the whole Christian faith to an abrupt end? Friends, the Jewish leaders were anxious to discredit Jesus as the Messiah.
All they had to do is produce Jesus' decaying body and their goal would have been achieved.
So why didn't they? It's because as the angel said, he is risen. Friends, this professor in Germany and the angels can't both be right. You gotta make a choice. I don't know about you.
I'm going to stick with the angels. Not a sermon, just a thought. Uh For more information, check out our website, notasermon.com. That's notasermon.com. Yeah.
