Jesus Is Risen, He Is Truly Risen!
Happy Third Sunday of Easter! We see in our Gospel selection from St. Luke that the post-Resurrection Jesus comes to His Disciples. They could not believe their eyes. Is it truly our Lord? The Disciples had difficulty accepting the resurrection. It was too marvelous to believe! Jesus had to meet them where they were. We read in the Gospel,
And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and He took it and ate before them.
Luke 24:41-43
Jesus knew this action would be proof He was not a ghost.
With this proof, Jesus’ Disciples would give up everything to serve Him. For three hundred years, following Jesus could mean death.
The radical nature of the Resurrection must change our lives. We need Easter, We need Resurrection Sunday, because it reminds us how we are to live. There are so many messages in the world and they may take us off our Christian Life Path. Easter reminds us that we are a Resurrection People and that Love will be Victorious!
What Jesus said two thousand years ago, He is saying to us now,
“You are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:48
May we live as People of the Resurrection and witness to the world the Power of Love!
