Luke 24 and John 20-21

Luke's tale has a bit more to tell about Christ's coming to see people after the fact. He meets up with a couple of people on a road and He yells "he guys...wait up" and He catches up with them and then says "whatchu guys talking about?" They tell Him all about the whole Jesus thing and invite him to dinner. As soon as he breaks the bread and says a blessing, they recognize him and poooof He is gone.
He then appears again to his disciples as these two are telling the story of the strange fella on the road. They are also having dinner and He asks for food. The only thing I can think is that Resurrection takes a lot out of a guy. They give him some broiled fish. As hes eating it, he basically says, "I told you so" hopefully without a mouth full of fish.

We get, in John 20 an account of Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene and again to the disciples, including Thomas....called the twin....? Presumably because he has a twin? Butt who is this twin?

Love this:
"I am going fishing!" says Simon Peter in a voice a bit to loud and with his hands placed firmly on his hips..
The rest of the disciples answer this call in unison also with hands placed on hips, chins up and feet spread hip width apart....."And we are coming with you!"

If I were a director thats how that scene would play out.....

The last vs. in John 20 is very good. I think everything else is fairly straightforward.

Tomorrow is Acts 1-3
