Rather, He resurrected only spiritually in the hearts of His followers. There is big problem with such a nagging proposal and the Gospel today shouts it right to everyone’s face: the skeptics’ theory forgets Thomas. Suppose the other apostles were actually fooled by their wishful thinking that Jesus was alive, that they longed to see the Lord so much that they thought they heard His voice, saw His wounds, and ate a meal with Him.
Ito pa ang masakit: iyon daw talaga ang kalooban ng Ama. Kaya nga’t silang mga eskriba – ang mga dalubhasa, ang mga may pinag-aralan, noong panahon ni Jesus – ay bobo pa rin sa ganang ito. Bakit? Kasi ayaw nilang tanggapin si Jesus. E bakit? Kasi kulang sila sa kababaang-loob, allergic sila sa pagiging maliit na tulad ng isang bata; palibhasa nga naman, ang taas-taas na kaya ng naabot nila, mga titulado na sila, alam na nila ang lahat.
