Jesus himself is represented as proving the truth of Christianity thus.

He, joining himself to two of his Disciples, (Luke 28: 15-- 22,) after his resurrection, who knew him not, and complaining of their mistake about his person, whom they now took not to be the Messiah, because he had been condemned to death, and crucified; he, observing their disbelief of his resurrection, which had been reported to them by "certain women of their acquaintance," upon the credit of the affirmation of angels, said unto them, "O Fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken.
