This week we continue our series The Way of Light, by exploring the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus. Following our scripture in Luke from last Sunday, Jesus makes his third appearance to his followers on the day of Easter. As they encountered Jesus alive, it was hard to put aside their understanding that the only way he could be with them was if he was a spirit, or as the NIV says, a ghost. But Jesus invites them to experience his real and fully resurrected: spirit and body.

We invite you to read Luke 24:36-49 in preparation for this coming Sunday, and may the Spirit of God open our minds to understand the scriptures, as Jesus did for his disciples.
