If the particular characteristics of the person and work of Jesus Christ are such as to be beyond those of mere men, then Jesus is the Son of God. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is one of the characteristics of the person and work of Jesus Christ which is beyond those of mere men. Therefore, Jesus Christ is the Son of God. This constitutes our argument in this article. We will now examine in some detail the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Glenn Edwin Hawkins (1943-2023) graduated Newark High School, Newark OH (1961), Ohio Valley University, Parkersburg WV (1963), Harding University (B.A. 1965), and Harding Graduate School of Religion, Memphis TN (M.A. Apologetics 1975).
Glenn began his career as a preacher of the gospel and worked with a variety of congregations in MO & TN. From July of 1975 until his passing, Glenn served as minister of Massillon Church of Christ where he conducted a weekly radio program, wrote a weekly column for the Massillon newspaper, taught weekly Bible classes, served as a guest speaker at numerous lectureships, served as a teacher at Ohio Valley University, and was a staff writer for Sufficient Evidence, bi-annual apologetics journal of Warren Apologetics Center.
He was married for 57 years to Hope (Shutts) Hawkins. They had two sons Kenneth (Susan) Hawkins and Adam, and one granddaughter, Addison. He loved the Massillon Tigers, the Ohio State Buckeyes, golf, singing, and most of all his family, and countless friends.
On January 3, 2023, the reaper entered the forest, and came for a cedar—a strong towering cedar that had withstood the blasts of trouble, trial, toil, and tragedy, just one year shy of eighty years. That great cedar fell and, as a result, a sizeable segment of Christians in Northeast Ohio and beyond resounded with the cry of the king and sweet singer of old that “there is a prince and a great man fallen” in spiritual Israel (cf. 2 Samuel 3:38; Galatians 6:16). His name—Glenn Hawkins. To his now widowed wife Hope, their two sons Kenneth and Adam, daughter-in-law Susan, granddaughter Addison, all of their extended family, and numberless friends, we express our deepest sympathy.
