What Does Luke 24:42 Mean?
The disciples hand him what the room has: a piece of broiled fish — the food of Galilean fishermen — and honeycomb. The detail is homely and exact, the kind of thing an eyewitness remembers.
The risen Lord of glory accepts a piece of fish from the hands of working men. He who will soon ascend first shares the plain food of his friends. Resurrection does not lift Jesus out of the ordinary world of tables and suppers; it brings him to them. He receives what his people offer, however simple, and makes it part of the story of salvation.
