From ssbdwels.com: Real Resurrection – April 16, 2024 “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.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.Luke 24:39-43 #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1g4ignz-594f42938c8dfc7e7ac530646d401b16{height:15px;}Real ResurrectionDaily Devotion – April 16, 2024Devotion based on Luke 24:39-43wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20240416dev.mp3See series: DevotionsThe early disciples must have wondered if Jesus was a ghost when he rose from the dead. It would have made sense to them. They had seen him die, and they had seen him buried, so if he were to come back from the dead, it would have to be as a spirit.Jesus demonstrated to them that he had risen from the dead in far more than spirit. He had them touch his body. He showed them the hands and feet that had been nailed to the cross. He ate real food. Jesus had risen from the dead with both soul and body.In these modern days there are people who insist that Jesus could not actually have risen from the dead. After all, no one does that, right? People are willing to consider the possibility that there are ghosts and even willing to consider the idea of zombies, but they are unwilling to believe that people can rise from the dead, body and soul.Jesus did rise from the dead, body and soul, and he made it clear that everyone who believes in him will do the same. On judgment day, believers in Jesus will have their real souls reunited with their real bodies in a glorified form, unable to sin anymore.Because Jesus lives, we too shall live. #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1c1e933-991b45e98a1df27c903a51138523e164{height:25px;}Prayer:Lord Jesus, thank you for your promise of real resurrection.

From ssbdwels.com: Perfect Peace – April 15, 2024While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”Luke 24:36 #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1g4ignz-594f42938c8dfc7e7ac530646d401b16{height:15px;}Perfect PeaceDaily Devotion – April 15, 2024Devotion based on Luke 24:36wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20240415dev.mp3See series: DevotionsIn the Middle East, it is common to greet one another by saying, “Peace.” That was true already at the time when Jesus rose from the dead. So when he appeared to his disciples and said, “Peace be with you,” it could have been understood as a simple greeting.But it was far more than that. The disciples were unsettled. They were not sure that Jesus had really risen from the dead. They were uncertain whether they had done the right thing at the time of his trial and crucifixion. They did not know where they stood with one another, much less where they stood with Jesus.All those uncertainties made it important for Jesus to greet them by saying, “Peace be with you.” He needed to assure them that his relationship with them was good. Because he had died to take the punishment for their sins because he had risen from the dead to prove that his promise of forgiveness was true, he could calm a whole range of anxiety with those simple words, “Peace be with you.”We also live with uncertainty. We wonder whether we have done the right thing. We don’t know how we stand with one another, and we waver in our confidence that Jesus loves us. Because Jesus died to take the punishment for our sins because he rose from the dead to prove that his promise of forgiveness for us is true, we rejoice to hear Jesus say it to us, too. “Peace be with you.” #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1c1e933-991b45e98a1df27c903a51138523e164{height:25px;}Prayer:Thank you, Jesus, for calming our anxiety by assuring us that we have perfect peace with you. Amen.#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-iz32kf-353a444a89ffaf3625ae74910530a89c{height:25px;}Daily Devotions are brought to you by WELS and www.WhatAboutJesus.com.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.All Scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV®.
