Reason 5: Jesus’ tomb was guarded by the Roman government
Not only was Jesus' crucifixion a public event, but His tomb was also guarded by official Roman soldiers. These guys didn't mess around. Ephesians 6 describes their appearance and armor, as depicted below. For the Roman government to lose track of His body or allow it to be stolen is simply out of the question, given how important it was that they see Jesus die.
