Evidence, what is it? In a court of law, does the court accept eye witness accounts?! Or, does this evidence have to be objects such as stones, books, swords, -- physical objects that one can touch and feel?!
Do you accept
Muhammad, Gautama Buddha having existed? Why so? Because of witnesses and their testimony to this fact. When we then see how strong the first century church was in resisting outright murder and persecution, you would have to ask, why did these people go to their deaths for the sake of faith in Christ and God?!
Here we have a combination of things. The apostles and disciples who first assembled around Christ saw him rise and gave witness about this; they also were witness (many of them) to his miraculous healings, even resurrections by his hand. However, even after his death, the miraculous powers to heal remained for decades by the apostles hands and some of the early disciples. Just remember how one of the apostles resurrected Tabitha:
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. 37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber. 38 And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us. 39 And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. 40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
So when not only the witnesses told about Christ's rising, but also had with them through several decades miraculous cures, even resurrections, the reason for the power of the early church to motivate its followers is clear. Thus, this early church's very survival is evidence of Christ's existence.
While these powers died out after the apostles had passed, as promised, nonetheless, the evidence for us still exist in their witness through scripture. We get this confirmed by the power of prayer among some things.
The teaching is what the Christian hope hinges on. Christ is promised to come and turn earth into a Paradise under one government, one rule, eliminate war, sickness, hunger, mega rich, the wicked ones who think they can commit any crime, white or black, without having to answer for it.
As Christ promised believers and unbelievers, he shall come back and make all pay as they deserve, some with mercy and others without.
