Be careful when you feel confident in your knowledge of God: '...But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God..." (Matthew 22:29)'

How "easy" it would have been to have witnessed the resurrected Christ!

I say "easy" because there were still people who didn't believe- but I'm not sure there were any who refused to believe once they saw Him, and felt the holes and his side. Talk about proof! What we call "faith"- those disciples like Thomas that were able to get proof- did they really have faith? Why can't we get the same proof- we wouldn't need to wrestle with "big-picture" questions with athiests. Sometimes I think it would make things too easy if we were just handed truth on a silver platter. Seems we would skip a lot of necessary learning (the trip is many times more important than the destination) if Jesus appeared before us today during a church service and let us take pictures of Him ascending back into Heaven along with Peter, Isaiah, and Moses. But wouldn't that be the same as Him coming back and proving to Thomas and others that he arose?
