Easter Thursday
Gospel – Luke 24:35-48
“Touch me and see for yourselves”. The resurrection of Christ is not a myth. It’s reality. It is a fact. Resurrection is not Jesus turning into a ghost. Resurrection is Jesus gaining victory over death which is the punishment of sin. It’s the victory over death. In Jesus, death becomes a transformation into a different form of existence. It’s transformation of earthly life into eternal life. In Jesus who is eternal, the entire humanity become eternal. There are popular beliefs that after death one becomes ghost. But the resurrection of Jesus is not Jesus becoming Ghost. Jesus continues to exist as the same person. That is why He is showing his hands and feet. The Apostles saw Him, and they believed Him. Then they offered Him a piece of grilled fish, which he took and ate before their eyes. This means, He is the same Jesus who can be present in the daily normal life of the disciples. Let’s reflect: Easter is accepting the fact that the resurrection of Jesus transformed the death as a transition and not an end.
