The resurrection of the body, a real body! (Fr. David Houk)

Easter 3: April 22, 2012 (St. Luke 24:36b-48)

St. Luke writes, "They were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit." But they didn't see a spirit--that's the point!--they saw Jesus with a resurrected body. And a physical resurrection means a physical future and a physical present for believers.
