What Does Luke 24:41 Mean?
Luke captures an unforgettably human moment: the disciples believe not for joy — it seems too good to be true — and wonder holds them speechless. So Jesus offers one more proof, on their level: Have ye here any meat?
Too good to be true is exactly what the gospel is, and Jesus is gentle with a joy that can hardly trust itself. He does not demand instant, tidy faith; he asks for supper, giving their minds time to catch up with their hearts. The Lord stoops to our pace, adding kindness upon kindness until trembling joy settles into firm belief.
