using expressions similar to those he had used before his death and thus identify him self to his distraught followers as indeed the lord they loved verse 39 behold my hands and my feet that it is i my self handle me and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones our lord was infinitely patient considerate and compassionate to gaze upon and touch his res urrection body and particularly his wounded hands and feet would prove 1 that he was no incorporeal ghost 2 that he was their very crucified sav iour that the disciples obeyed is suggested in thomass sub sequent words john 2525 and johns later assertion that his hands had handled the word of life john 11 verse 40 when he had thus spoken he shewed them his hands and his feet this would confirm their faith the resur- rection was no dream the lord jesus was raised in the body in which he suffered the marks of the nails proved that the person now with his disciples was actually the crucified re deemer verse 41 they yet be lieved not for joy

he asked if they had any food not that he hungered but that he would grant them indisputable evi dence of his resurrection verse 42 they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and of an honeycomb this was part of the disciples ordinary diet ex- fishermen could be expected to have fish for supper palestine was sometimes called the land flowing with milk and honey honey was a staple item of food verse 43 and he took it and did eat before them this is a mystery we readily accept the body of christs resurrec tion glory was the same as that in which he died yet different it was sown in mortality and raised immortal 1 cor 1553 it was related to its previous state yet transcended it the risen saviour both entered through closed doors and ate broiled fish verse 44 he said these are the words which i spake unto you that all things must be fulfilled written in the law of moses in the prophets in the psalms con cerning me thus at long last our lords prophetic intimations concerning his resurrectionsee matt 1621 were fulfilled this was the glorious event toward which his words had been point ing but more the entire old testament spoke prophetically concerning his ministry which would culminate in resurrection from the dead the hebrew can on was technically divided into tthe law the prophets and the holy writings hagiogra- pha the psalms were the ma jor portion of the holy writ ings verse 45 then opened he their understanding that they might understand the scrip tures perhaps this gift of spir itual insight was the result of their reception of the holy spir it john 2022 at any rate the disciples were now made to re alize not only that the messiah would arise from the dead but that the scriptural prophecies had been fulfilled in christs resurrection verse 46 and said thus it is written thus it behoov ed christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day both the passion suffering and resurrection of christ were part of the eternal will of the father revealed in advance to the writ ers of the old testament and now come to glad fruition in the presence of the disciples the third day how often the lord jesus had previously announced this element verse 47 that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name be ginning at jerusalem dr luke also wrote the book of acts here he condenses what he later describes in greater detail acts 138 on the basis of the gos pel of the crucified risen son of god men were to repent have a change of mind place their trust in the saviour and have their sins forgiven verse 48 and ye are wit nesses of these things the disciples who beheld their risen lord were to spread abroad the good news starting where they had seen him in jerusalem a witness is one who knows the greek word for witnesses is martures whence our word martyrs the heart of the lesson three sublime truths concern ing our lords resurrection are emphasized by luke remem ber that the author was a physi cian accustomed to dealing with physical reality the first truth is the histori cal actuality of the resurrection and thus its evidential apolo getic value in the proclamation and confirmation of the gospel christ was very careful to prove to his followers that he was really alive he did this in two ways to begin with he reminded good friday service stouffville memorial christian church 11 am organ prelude mr clarion

concerning him law prophets and writings had all prophesied his career the writ ers had announced in advance his resurrection as well as his death hence he asked ought not christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory verse 26 and hence he explained these are the words which i spake unto you while i was yet with you that all things must be fulfilled but second to clinch the mat terto prove that the old test ament authors had predicted correctly and that he was truly alive he stooped to the dis ciples incredulity and gave them a physical incontrovert ible demonstration that he was no disembodied ghost he show- 1 ed them his body and ate with them he was their loving ris en living saviour his resurrec tion was not fancy but fact why did the lord jesus take such pains to prove his resur rection because it is a guar antee of his identity as the son of god and upon the rock of his deity the superstructure of our faith is built later the dis ciples thoroughly persuaded that their lord was indeed rais ed from the dead and that they had seen him in his risen body preached the resurrection as a fact of history which they had personally witnessed acts 1 22 232
