A: In the "prologue" to the book of Acts, Luke told Theophilus that Jesus "presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:3). The Greek word translated as "infallible proofs" is
tekmeriois, a technical term from logic that refers to that which causes something "to be known in a convincing and decisive manner, proof."
So what are these infallible proofs of the Resurrection? Before answering that question, consider what it would take to convince you that someone was alive again after dying. Of course, the best evidence would be an opportunity to spend time with that person again—you could see him walk and talk, and you could eat with him. That's precisely what Luke is referring to here.
After being crucified, Jesus showed Himself alive by appearing to the disciples on several occasions. He walked with them, talked with them, and ate with them.

The Person of Christ DVD Dr. Baucham gives solid answers to common objections about Christ's deity, death, and Resurrection. His charge:
We must preach a risen Christ unequivocally and tell the world that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—and that no one comes to the Father but by Him. Powerful!
