Jesus' Appearing to the Disciples

Jesus appeared to his disciples, and they thought he was a ghost! They didn’t recognize Jesus because of their guilt, unbelief, fear, and, most importantly, for the same reason that the two disciples on the road to Emmaus did not recognize Jesus: they did not understand the word of God. Jesus patiently, compassionately, and lovingly reassured them that he had indeed risen from the dead in fulfillment of what the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms had said. He then opened their minds so that they could understand the scriptures, and their lives were transformed.
