WALKING WITH THE FRIEND OF SINNERS Day 120

Read Luke 24:35-49

JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES
Jesus’ body wasn’t just a figment of the imagination or the appearance of a ghost. The disciples touched Him, and He ate food. On the other hand, His body wasn’t merely a restored human body. He was able to appear and disappear. Jesus’ resurrected body was immortal. This is the kind of body you will be given in the resurrection of the dead.
Many days may have elapsed between verses 43 and 44 because Jesus and His followers travelled to Galilee and back before He ascended into heaven. In the Book of Acts, chapter 1, Luke makes it clear that Jesus spent 40 days with His disciples between His resurrection and His ascension.
Jesus opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit still does this today when you study the Bible. Have you ever wondered how to understand a difficult Bible passage? Besides reading surrounding passages, asking other people, and consulting other reference works, pray that the Holy Spirit will open your mind to understand, giving you the needed insight to put God’s Word into action in your life.
Christ’s message of God’s love and forgiveness should go to all the world. You must never ignore the worldwide scope of God’s Good News. God wants all of the world to hear the Good News of Salvation.
