Luk 24:35Lalu kedua orang itupun menceriterakan apa yang terjadi di tengah jalan dan bagaimana mereka mengenal Dia pada waktu Ia memecah-mecahkan roti.

Luk 24:36Dan sementara mereka bercakap-cakap tentang hal-hal itu, Yesus tiba-tiba berdiri di tengah-tengah mereka dan berkata kepada mereka: "Damai sejahtera bagi kamu!"

Luk 24:37Mereka terkejut dan takut dan menyangka bahwa mereka melihat hantu.

Luk 24:38Akan tetapi Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu terkejut dan apa sebabnya timbul keragu-raguan di dalam hati kamu?

Luk 24:39Lihatlah tangan-Ku dan kaki-Ku: Aku sendirilah ini; rabalah Aku dan lihatlah, karena hantu tidak ada daging dan tulangnya, seperti yang kamu lihat ada pada-Ku."

Luk 24:40Sambil berkata demikian, Ia memperlihatkan tangan dan kaki-Nya kepada mereka.

Luk 24:41Dan ketika mereka belum percaya karena girangnya dan masih heran, berkatalah Ia kepada mereka: "Adakah padamu makanan di sini?"

Luk 24:42Lalu mereka memberikan kepada-Nya sepotong ikan goreng.

Luk 24:43Ia mengambilnya dan memakannya di depan mata mereka.

Luk 24:44Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Inilah perkataan-Ku, yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu ketika Aku masih bersama-sama dengan kamu, yakni bahwa harus digenapi semua yang ada tertulis tentang Aku dalam kitab Taurat Musa dan kitab nabi-nabi dan kitab Mazmur."

Luk 24:45Lalu Ia membuka pikiran mereka, sehingga mereka mengerti Kitab Suci.

Luk 24:46Kata-Nya kepada mereka: "Ada tertulis demikian: Mesias harus menderita dan bangkit dari antara orang mati pada hari yang ketiga,

Luk 24:47dan lagi: dalam nama-Nya berita tentang pertobatan dan pengampunan dosa harus disampaikan kepada segala bangsa, mulai dari Yerusalem.

Luk 24:48Kamu adalah saksi dari semuanya ini.

RENUNGAN

Tuhan Yesus menampakkan diri di depan murid - murid Nya, reaksi yang diberikan oleh para murid Nya ialah takut dan terkejut karena mereka mengira melihat kemudian Tuhan Yesus menjelaskan kepada mereka bahwa Ia ada daging dan tulangnya, lalu kemudia Tuhan Yesus memakan ikan goreng agar murid Nya percaya. 

Apakah kita juga akan terkejut ketika melihat Tuhan Yesus, apakah kita dapat mengenali Nya, sebab Ia adalah Tuhan Allah yang penuh kasih, Tuhan Yesus pasti akan menjelaskan diri Nya kepada kita agar kita mengenali Nya. 

Tuhan Yesus juga mempunyai kuasa untuk membuka pikiran murid - murid Nya agar mengerti Kitab Suci, serta dengan tegas Tuhan Yesus memberikan pesan perutusan kepada semua pengikut Nya bahwa pertobatan dan pengampunan dosa harus disampaikan ke seluruh bangsa.


DOA 

Ya Tuhan Tugas perutusan Mu adalah perintah Ku
Jika Engkau berkenan pakailah aku Tuhan
Aku tahu aku masih belum pantas
Tetapi aku berusaha untuk hidup benar Tuhan
Amen

ENGLISH 

Here's the English translation of the passage:

Luke 24:35-48 (ESV)

35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

36 As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace to you!"

37 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.

38 And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 

39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

43 and he took it and ate before them.

44 Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

46 and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,

47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48 You are witnesses of these things.

REFLECTION

The Lord Jesus appeared before His disciples, and their reaction was one of fear and astonishment because they thought they saw a spirit. Then, the Lord Jesus explained to them that He had flesh and bones, and to prove it, He ate broiled fish so that His disciples would believe.

Will we also be surprised when we see the Lord Jesus? Will we be able to recognize Him? Because He is the loving God, the Lord Jesus will surely reveal Himself to us so that we may recognize Him.

The Lord Jesus also has the power to open the minds of His disciples to understand the Scriptures, and He firmly delivers the message to all His followers that repentance and forgiveness of sins must be proclaimed to all nations.

PRAYER

Oh Lord, Your mission is my command.
If it pleases You, use me, Lord.
I know I am still unworthy,
But I strive to live righteously, Lord.
Amen.
