“Have you anything here to eat?” (v41). The idea of resurrection seemed impossible, too good to be true. The apostles at first couldn’t believe the women’s “idle tale” (v11). Even when Jesus showed himself, the disciples either didn’t recognize Him (v16) or thought they were seeing a ghost (“spirit”, v37). But the real Jesus was present, and they knew it when he ate bread and fish with them (v30, v42).

“Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself!” (v39). Jesus is no illusion. As the risen Messiah, He shared a meal with disciples, and by His Spirit, Jesus is present with us. Our faith is in a real Person who died for us, rose again, and will redeem our bodies, too.
