Easter Sunday is a holy day for Christians around the world. Its celebration brings hope to the nations through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As we approach this holy day, Nancy Grace and her expert panel explores the facts of Jesus' crucifixion, resurrection and historical evidence in its reality. Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem for Passover and what is now called "Palm Sunday" is often called His "Triumphal Entry" as crowds line the streets, spreading their cloaks and waving palm branches. Shouts of "Hosanna" came from the crowd,  recognizing Him as King, but Jesus was also seen as a political threat by religious leaders and Roman authority fearing the populace would unite behind Jesus leading to unrest.   Jesus was arrested on charges of sedition, in the late evening after the Passover meal. He appeared before the Sanhedrin immediately, accused of blasphemy and claiming to be King of the Jews. He is judged guilty, condemned to die on a cross.   Sources other than the bible mention Jesus death by crucifixion and even document events that coincided with Jesus' death on the cross.  Historical accounts by Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and Roman Historian, Tacitus, both corroborate the existence of Jesus and His execution under Pontius Pilate.  Joining Nancy Grace today,  Lee Strobel - Former Legal Editor of the Chicago Tribune, Former Atheist and New York Times best-selling author of “Seeing the Supernatural” his newest release and also “The Evidence of Christ” [both among his 40+ books], Founding Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University; X and Facebook @leestrobel,Instagram @lee_strobel Fr.
