... I'm climbing on a soapbox.
....................
In my Bible reading today, I came upon Luke 24.39.
It is the evening of that first Easter day. Jesus is talking to his disciples. They are afraid; they do not trust their eyes; they can't believe it's really him! But he does not look down on them or belittle their doubt and fear. Instead --
"Touch me and see," he says. "A ghost does not have flesh and blood, as you see I do." And he shows them the wound-marks in his hands and feet.
With that, he invites them -- he invites me, and anyone else -- to examine on their own the things about him, to see the proof for themselves.
Try me, he says; test my words for yourself.
Come and see that I am real.
