At first, Jesus’ friends are “startled and terrified, and thought
that they were seeing a ghost” (24:37). They simply cannot
believe it is Jesus. He offers his wounds as proof. They have to
see before they will accept the truth. I urge us to remember this
scene when we feel...
Gracious God, help me to trust in your promises and to live in joyful hope. Amen.
The entire Easter season focuses on the new governance that breaks the grip of all that is old, tired, deathly, and enslaving. The psalm shows the church using the ancient language of enthronement. Now it is Jesus through whom the drama of God’s power is brought to fruition. In Acts, the community accepts the new governance as a bold witness in the world, sustained by a disciplined life of prayer. The epistle reading addresses people who are in the midst of suffering, hurt, and need. They are enjoined to powerful hope for the time of God’s eventual and full triumph. The Gospel portrays the church under the power of God’s resolve, being given a wholly new identity and vocation in the world.
