- 1. In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 24, verses 36 to 43, we witness a profound moment where Jesus appears to His disciples after His resurrection, bringing with Him an air of both wonder and reassurance. The disciples, still grappling with the shocking events of the crucifixion and the news of the empty tomb, are gathered together in a state of fear and disbelief, grappling with the reality of what has transpired. Suddenly, in the midst of their discussions and uncertainties, Jesus Himself stands among them, greeting them with the words, 'Peace be with you.' This greeting is not merely a pleasantry but a profound pronouncement of calm and wholeness, aimed at healing their troubled hearts. They are initially startled and frightened, convinced that they are seeing a spirit, their minds struggling to comprehend the miracle of His resurrection. In response to their fears, Jesus invites them to touch His hands and feet, showing them that He is not a ghost, but truly has risen in the flesh. He even asks for something to eat, illustrating His physical presence by consuming a piece of broiled fish in their sight. This act serves both as a beautiful affirmation of His physical resurrection and as a powerful incentive for the disciples to bear witness to the miraculous truth of His victory over death. In this moment, the disciples transition from doubt to joy, as they begin to understand the fulfillment of Scripture through the resurrection, making this appearance a cornerstone of their faith and mission moving forward.
