Day 11 of 14

NIV

Acts 1:3

"During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.” Acts 1:3 NLT “Why are you frightened?” he asked. “Why are your hearts filled with doubt? Look at my hands. Look at my feet... Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.” … Still, they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder...’ Luke 24:38-41 NLT

Reflection: Resurrected body

New creation is on the move. Rocks tremble and shift; a tomb yawns empty; heavenly messengers blaze with the screamer: Death’s curse is crushed! And in an uncanny series of events the Son of God gives the world a peek of his body resurrected.

Adam[ah] (meaning ‘earth’) was an earthy image of God.

The risen Christ is …well,

‘Touch me’ says he to Thomas;

‘Don’t cling to me’, to Mary;

‘Feed me’ to the disciples;

Walk with me. Listen to me. Meet with me. Picnic with me.

Verify. Trust. Believe.

The risen Christ is recognisable, renewed, a refined image of God.

This my body—forty days, gracious to prove it.

Forty days apparent on the adamah before ascending to heaven.

Prayer:

On this risen body pivots their faith and hope, pivots our faith and hope!
