Look at My hands and My feet. This phrase emphasizes the physical evidence of Jesus' crucifixion, pointing to the nail marks as proof of His identity and the reality of His resurrection. In the cultural context of the time, physical evidence was crucial for establishing truth. The hands and feet were pierced during the crucifixion, fulfilling the prophecy in Psalm 22:16, "They pierced my hands and my feet." This act of showing His wounds is a direct response to the doubts of His disciples, who were struggling to comprehend the resurrection. The geographical context of Jerusalem, where the crucifixion and resurrection took place, is significant as it was the center of Jewish religious life and prophecy fulfillment. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see— for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe resurrected Lord who appears to His disciples, affirming His physical resurrection. 2. Disciples The followers of Jesus who are gathered and initially frightened, thinking they see a spirit. 3. Jerusalem The city where these post-resurrection appearances occur, central to the events of Jesus' death and resurrection. 4. Resurrection The event of Jesus rising from the dead, a cornerstone of Christian faith, demonstrating victory over sin and death. Teaching Points The Reality of the ResurrectionJesus' invitation to touch His hands and feet underscores the physical reality of His resurrection, affirming that He is not merely a spirit but has a glorified body. This truth is foundational to Christian faith, providing assurance of life after death. Faith and Evidence Jesus provides tangible evidence to His disciples to strengthen their faith. This teaches us that faith is not blind but can be supported by evidence and reason. Hope in Our Resurrection Jesus' resurrection is the firstfruits of our own future resurrection. Believers can have hope that they too will be raised with glorified bodies, free from the corruption of sin and death. Jesus' Personal Presence Jesus emphasizes "It is I Myself," highlighting His personal presence and relationship with His followers. This reminds us of the personal nature of our relationship with Christ. Overcoming Doubt The disciples' initial fear and doubt are met with Jesus' reassurance. This encourages us to bring our doubts to Jesus, trusting Him to provide clarity and peace.(39) Behold my hands and my feet.--The test thus offered to the disciples, like that afterwards given to Thomas, was to be to them a proof that they were not looking on a spectre from the shadow-world of the dead. The Resurrection was a reality, not an appearance. In St. John's words, "which our hands have handled" (1John 1:1), we have an interesting coincidence with the use of the same word here. The conditions of the problem must remain, however, transcendental and mysterious. There is a real corporeity, and yet there is a manifest exemption from the common conditions of corporeal existence. St. Luke's narrative presents an undesigned coincidence with that of John 20:25. What Thomas asked for was the evidence which had, he heard, been given to others. Without that evidence he could not, he felt, believe.Verse 39. - Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. "See," he says, inviting the terror-stricken disciples to a calm, unaffrighted contemplation - "see my hands and my feet pierced with the nails which fastened them to the cross; it is I myself." Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. The first words quietly told the awe-struck ones to look closely at him, and to ascertain from the dread marks he bore that what they looked upon was Jesus their Master. Then he proceeded to bid them touch him, handle him, and so assure themselves that it was no phantom, no bodiless spirit, that stood before them. These words of the Lord, and the invitation, "handle me, and see," made the deepest impression on the hearers. These, then, were proofs of the Resurrection that admitted of no shadow of doubt. These words, this sight, changed their lives. What cared they afterwards for men and men's threatenings? Death, life, to them were all one. They had seen the Lord, they had handled with their hands "that which was flora the beginning" (see 1 John 1:1). Browning forcibly puts this thought which so influenced the first great teachers. The dying St. John is dwelling on the thought that when he is gone there will be none left with men who saw and touched the Lord.
