The Good
News continues today where we left off yesterday. Cleopas and his friend have
returned to the Cenacle where the disciples are hiding and are telling the
others about what happened on the road to Emmaus and “how Jesus had been made
known to them inn the breaking of the bread.” (Luke 24:35)
As they
were speaking Jesus appears in his risen body in their midst and they are
startled and terrified. They think that they are seeing a ghost. Could it be
that the risen body was different or did they lack faith in grasping the Resurrection?
Jesus goes to great lengths to prove to them that it is He; showing them His
hands and feet and even eating a piece of fish so that they can see that He is
not a figment of their imagination.
If we lack
the right faith in the Word of God and when the truth of revelation is not in
us all we see is a ghost. Just like those first disciples, we need to have our
minds opened to understand what the Laws, Psalms, and Prophets had to say about
the Lord Jesus.
Father Rohr
says that the risen Lord is “not limited by space or time and that is why Jesus’
body seems to be both here or there, passing through doors, visible and not
visible, white light itself, everywhere and nowhere, as it were. Christ is consciousness itself pervading all things—waiting
and hoping for our inner “yes”!(The
Cosmic Christ)
“The risen Lord is the new Temple
