If Jesus walked among us today, would we recognize Him? Luke 24 tells of two of Christ’s followers who did not know Him when He appeared to them after His resurrection. Jesus confronted their doubt and sadness the same way He addresses ours today: with His Word. Examining the evidence of the empty tomb, Alistair Begg explains that if we are going to understand Jesus, we must do so in light of Scripture. Christ conquered death on our behalf, and when we place our faith in Him, we have hope even in the face of our own mortality.
36As they were talking about these things, cJesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!” 37But they were dstartled and efrightened and fthought they saw a spirit. 38And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. gTouch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40And when he had said this, hhe showed them his hands and his feet. 41And while they still disbelieved ifor joy and were marveling, jhe said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish,2 43and he took it and ate before them.
44Then he said to them, k“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, lthat everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then mhe opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and said to them, “Thus nit is written, othat the Christ should suffer and on the third day prise from the dead, 47and that qrepentance for3 the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed rin his name sto all nations, tbeginning from Jerusalem. 48uYou are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I am sending vthe promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you ware clothed with xpower yfrom on high.”
