Physical Resurrection of Christ
This isn't an exhaustive list of the scriptural references, but should be sufficient.
1 Corinthians 15:12-17 (King James Version)
12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no
resurrection of the dead?
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also
vain.
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up
Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins
There is also the well known 'doubting thomas' incident described in John 20: 26 - 28, just in case
you still think the risen Christ did not have a physical solid body.
John Ch 20:26-28
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it
into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
