       One would have thought that by this point in time they would have been used to seeing the supernatural. But let’s not raise ourselves on a pedestal. We have often acted the same way. God has shown us miracle after miracle before, and we still had have trouble believing him. Nevertheless, Jesus wasn’t pleased with their unbelief in this matter. Again, Luke tells us the following: “And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them” (Luke 24:38-43, ESV). It appears that the disciples did not believe it was really Jesus until he explained things to them from the Scriptures about himself. Luke tells us, “he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures” (Luke 24:45, ESV). God had to enable them to see the truth.
