Into the locked room, before the frightened disciples, Jesus appears. He is clearly the man who died on the cross, the one they deserted. But there is no reprimand for this or for their doubts, just reassurance to men whose lives he would change for ever, Peter, John, Thomas the biggest doubter of all, and many others who would go out and bear witness, to preach the Gospel of the Risen Christ, to heal the sick and record what really did happen.
Who can doubt the reality and the truth of the resurrection when ordinary, frail men such as they were so changed, so filled with joy and confidence that they were prepared to go into an alien world and boldly speak out and be ready to die in the telling which many of them did. If nothing else this really gives truth to the amazing story of Christ’s victory over death.
