What will it take for you to believe?

Luke 24:33-41, 43 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” and he took it and ate it in their presence. 
These men had seen all the wonders Christ had done, including raising Lazarus from the dead. They had heard the report of the women, especially Mary, that the tomb was empty and Jesus was risen.  The two followers who met Him on the road to Emmaus have now brought their report, and even as they speak, He appears and speaks familiar words.  Yet, they thought they saw a ghost.  Even stronger than their fear was their doubt.  He invited them to investigate the physical evidence: His own body.  They still had trouble believing.  Finally, like many believers, it boils down to food.  Maybe that will be a good time for us to sit and let it all sink in - at the breakfast after the Sunrise service.  May it really sink in - He is Risen Indeed!  All He said is true.  He Himself is Truth and Life.
