We know the Risen Christ not merely from the historical facts on Jesus of Nazareth. The mystery of the Resurrection is the mystery of life, and it opens itself to those who are ready to be converted.
According to Luke 24:35-48...
35, the two men then explained to them what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized the Lord when he broke the bread.
JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES
36, while the two were telling them this, suddenly the Lord himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
37, They were terrified, thinking that they were seeing a ghost. 38, but he said to them, "Why are you alarmed? Why are these doubts coming up in your minds? 39, look smart my hands and my feet and see that it is I myself. Feel me and you will know, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones, as you can see I have.
This is where the lesson comes from as though the disciples could see and witness him presently but yet still had doubts in their minds.
Blessed are those that do not see, but yet believe.
The resurrection is the source of the prodigious power which renews and heal human beings. To believe in the Resurrection is to follow Christ.
40, he said this and showed them his hands and his feet. 41, they still could not believe, they were so full of joy and wonder; so he asked them, "Have you anything here to eat? " 42, they gave him a piece of cooked fish, which he took and ate in their presence.
Here it was so clear and glaring that the disciples were amazed in disbelieve. They forgot that His way to the Resurrection was that of suffering. And so will our way to the risen life, too.
CALL TO CONVERSION
To live the Resurrection is to enter into his itinerary, to walk his way, to pass with him from death to life. This calls for conversion from ourselves to him.
Conversion is faith and a gift of God. The one who believes in Christ has already risen with him and is a witness of his Resurrection.
