第十四課 耶穌顯現的證據
A. 引言
1963年，阿拉巴馬州的白人種族主義者攻擊黑人教堂，造成死傷，結果1998年家屬決定遷葬；但卻發現墳是空的；由於現場凌亂，資料不全，這可能是因為墓碑立錯了地方，但就是沒人猜他已經復活走在大街上；我們已經證明了基督確實的受死並留下空墳墓，但我們要證明他已經復活了，我們需要更多的事實。
201. marine law (admiralty law; maritime law) = 海商法
Admiralty law (also referred to as maritime law) is a distinct body of law which governs maritime questions and offenses. It is a body of both domestic law governing maritime activities, and private international law governing the relationships between private entities which operate vessels on the oceans. It deals with matters including marine commerce, marine navigation, shipping, sailors, and the transportation of passengers and goods by sea. Admiralty law also covers many commercial activities, although land based or occurring wholly on land, that are maritime in character.
Admiralty law is distinguished from the Law of the Sea, which is a body of public international law dealing with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters and international law governing relationships between nations.
第十二課 失蹤屍體的證據
一名牽涉到龐大遺產的世界聞人突然失蹤， 調查人員相信他已遇害，但由於找不到屍體因此成為一宗懸案，只能列為失蹤而無法立即結案；找不到屍體可能在社會案件當中相當普遍，但是空墳墓卻不是如此。耶穌基督和上述不同之處是大家都找不到失蹤者，但空墳墓的基督卻是在死時有許多目擊者，而復活顯現在當代也有相當多的目擊者，儘管他已經上了殘酷的十字架；但這卻不只是空墳墓、屍體失蹤的問題，而是基督依然活著的現實。
空墳墓是我們的得救記號，是基督復活的象徵，是基督神性的表現，如同保羅在哥林多前書15:17說的，復活是信仰的核心，基督若沒有復活，我們的信則是徒然；我們仍在罪中。
