The early evangelists went around saying, "You hear about Jesus? The one who did such and such and said this and that? He rose from the dead. Really! Yeah, I saw him AFTER he was crucified. So did Matthew, Thomas and a bunch of others - in different places and at different times. Sure, I'll tell you more about him..."
Yes, Christ really rose from the dead. Now THAT was news. Good news. No wonder people everywhere wanted to hear more.
