Matthew 28:16-17
Seeing and Still Doubting
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
Acts 1:1-3
Jesus Lives Forty Days After His Resurrection
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Even when we see a miracle it can be hard for us to believe that that was really a miracle...Jesus went to His disciples, after His death, and they saw Him...But because it is hard for us to believe in miracles and things beyond our own rational thoughts, some still doubted...I think that is why He came back at different times and came back over this period of forty days to convince the Eleven and others that He was resurrected and still lives...One time is not always enough if you are a skeptic and have a personality that only believes in things like the Natural Laws (that God created)...But He came back at different times and over a period of forty days...
After forty days the disciples and others would have many convincing proofs to have faith in Him...And two important proofs He did, in fact, was first to die on the cross...And the second one is He did resurrect and come back to earth alive and be there for forty days (and continues to live) beyond the Natural Laws of nature...
