The Resurrection of Jesus Christ was a physical reality. When He “stood in the midst of them,” the disciples were shocked, “terrified, and frightened” (v. 37). They thought Jesus was a ghost. Jesus read their hearts, and to prove Himself physically alive, He showed them His pierced hands and feet and invited them to “handle” and “see” Him (v. 39). Then He went one step further to dispel their unbelief by asking for and eating food — something no disembodied spirit could do.
Taken from The Woman’s Study Bible
“While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit. 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. While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; and He took it and ate it before them.”
Luke 24:36-43
