LUKE 24:39

 "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." - Luke 24:39

So, You did have flesh and bones when You rose.  It wasn't a spirit body.  But then, why didn't the dudes on the way to Emmaus recognize You? Was it a different type of body?  Did You look different?  And did You have the holes in Your hands and feet on that walk, and they still didn't recognize You?

And right now?  Same body?  If we ever get to heaven, will we see what they saw?  And do You ever come back now?  Like do You just pop in, or are You waiting for the Big One?

I don't know why I am so concerned with the physical appearance.  What really matters is what You did, not what You looked like after.  Maybe that's why You responded the way You did.  These guys were also focused on the physical - how this happened, was it really You?  We get caught up in things that don't matter.

You sacrificed Yourself for us.  You rose from the dead.  You gave us a chance to have a relationship with The Father - just like You.  That's what's important, not what You looked like.  But, I still kinda want to know.

​The winter Metra crowd is a lot different!  People plying music without headphones, talking loudly - it’s like the L! I was looking forward...
