Word 49 of 310Doubt

Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.

Luke 24:39

BSB

Read Luke 24 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Luke 24)

Not a ghost

The disciples were terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. Jesus invited them to look at him and touch him.

Then he asked if they had anything to eat, and he ate a piece of broiled fish. Luke wants to make it clear: this is no vision and no feeling. The resurrection is bodily. He is real.

Question for today

What helps me to believe that he is real?

Prayer

Lord Jesus, you showed your wounds to those who doubted. Thank you that faith is not make-believe. Let me know you, real and alive. Amen.
