Jesus had died and the disciples were concerned, in Luke 24: 35. While with Jesus, they felt safe, but after the Lord was abruptly taken away from amidst them, they felt sad, scared, and forgot about the promise that He would die, and in three days, He would resurrect, so they let their heart be full of doubts. Human being is fragile, made of powder. God`s anointment is what makes men strong. They talked about some who saw Jesus regarding it impossible. They talked about everything when Jesus appeared among them and brought peace to them. This way of ours of greeting others saying Lord`s Peace is the same as the one Jesus brought the disciples. When we greet ourselves with the Peace of the Lord is the same peace as Jesus talked about because He wants us to have peace. Seeing Jesus, they became afraid, they thought they saw ghost.

Jesus had warned them He would die and would resurrect, but even so, they became afraid. They lived three years with Jesus, everyday in vigils, in the mountains, on boats, in walks, in preaching, watching miracles, wonders, and resurrections. So many miracles that the Bible says that if everything Jesus had performed were written, there wouldn`t be a place in the whole world to fit so many books. There are many miracles that are not registered, it`s said in John 21: 25. They didn`t have a reason for being afraid Jesus.

The Lord asked them two questions. Why they were puzzled and scared, and why they had doubts in their heart. Jesus asked those questions because doubts don`t belong to God. The certitude comes from God and just men have doubts, God doesn`t. Devil sow doubts exactly to destroy faith. When you live under doubts and afraid, you won`t be blessed. Never take any decision under doubts. What doesn`t come from faith is sin, says in Romans 14: 23. In order to make them believe, Jesus showed them His pierced feet and asked them to touch for them to see He was alive. They were disciples of Jesus and didn`t believe. The hardness of the heart prevents people from being blessed. He had to ask for food to prove He was not spirit, and He ate fish and bread. What else do we need to show to make people believe in the veracity of God`s word, Gospel? God`s work faces the same difficulty as Jesus`. Jesus carried all of our diseases and pains, so believe in God`s word because you don`t have to have those pains, humiliations, shame. Jesus already took all of them onto Him. Never accept problems in your life because Jesus already overcame all of them on behalf of us. God wants to see you healed, healthy, well fed, in good humor, with pleasure at living. Never allow doubts to contaminate you because devil will try to make you give up all the ways.
