According to the biblical account of resurrection appearances, one purpose of Christ's appearances in resurrection form was to prove the resurrection.

• A. Teach the things of the kingdom of God
• B. Prove the resurrection
• C. Reveal the Father
• D. Confirm the disciples' faith

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that the resurrection appearances are meant to provide tangible proof that Jesus truly rose from the dead. In the risen form, Jesus meets the disciples in real, observable ways—he invites Thomas to touch his wounds, shows the scars, eats with them, and speaks with them with authority. These concrete signs make the resurrection believable to those who see him, establishing the event as a historical reality rather than a metaphor or rumor. This evidentiary purpose is foundational for the gospel message that follows, because the ministry of Jesus after the resurrection hinges on people accepting that He is alive. While teaching about the kingdom, revealing the Father, and strengthening the disciples’ faith are also involved in his appearances, the primary aim tied to the resurrection form is to prove that he has indeed risen.
