[Grem] A mai vasárnapi szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, the risen Jesus appears to his eleven
disciples. He does not appear as a Platonic soul, a ghost, or a
hallucination. Instead, he can be touched and seen, has flesh and bones,
and can consume baked fish. Against all their expectations, a dead man had
returned, through the power of God, bodily and objectively from death.
 Even while insisting on this bodiliness and objectivity, we must not go to
the opposite extreme.  It really was Jesus, the crucified, who had returned
from the dead. But he did not come back simply resuscitated to the confines
of ordinary space and time. He was not, in a word, like Lazarus, the
daughter of Jairus, or the son of the widow of Naim, all people who had
been raised only to die again.Instead, Jesus’ body is transformed and
transfigured, independent of the strictures of space and time; it is, in
Paul’s language, a “spiritual” body. And the point is this: he has
triumphed over death and all that pertains to death. His resurrected body
is a foretaste and promise of what God intends for all of us.*
