Incredulous for Joy

Incredulous for Joy

The disciples remember.
Their hearts burn within them.
They recognize Him in the breaking of the bread.

He appears.
He stands in their midst.
Again.

Peace.
Why are you terrified?
Why do you have so many questions?

Look.
Do you recognize these hands and feet?
It is me.

Touch.
This is my body.
This is my blood.

They look.
They touch.
They believe.

He is risen.
He is here.
Alleluia.

His body does not belong to the dead.
His body belongs to the living.
They were “incredulous for joy and were amazed.” (Luke 24:41)

Have you anything to eat?
Fish.
Sharing another meal.

He took it.
He ate it.
New life.

Come share.
Anticipate this new life.
Encounter this living person.

Listen.
Everything
is fulfilled.

Open your mind.
Understand
the Scriptures.

Christ was crucified.
He died.
He was buried.

He rose again
on the third day.
Alleluia.

Go forth.
Preach
in His name.

Repentance.
Forgiveness
of sins.

To Jerusalem.
To all the nations.
To your heart.

You have seen.
You have heard.
You are witnesses.

Be bold.
Be original.
Draw life from the Resurrection.

Gentle knocking
At the door of your heart.
Open wide to the freedom that awaits.

Freedom.
Freedom to give.
Freedom to receive.

Trust Him.
Follow Him.
Rest in His peace.

He is alive.
He is risen.
Alleluia.

He is alive. He is risen. He is alive. He is risen. Alleluia.Click to tweet Twitter
