Chapter 209 The Third Day

If the river crab is more than just a river crab, then it should be more than just a river crab.

The river crab jumped onto Ye Zhaoling's shoulder. It changed its previous indifferent posture and talked about some mysterious things: "During the last supper, Jesus had dinner with the twelve disciples. One of the twelve disciples

Mark told the world that Jesus was transformed when he appeared before him.”

Ye Zhaoling nodded dullly, not understanding why He Xia brought these things up: "This matter doesn't have much to do with us, Mr. Crab."

"Ahem! I know!" He Xrab coughed, "Just listen to me! Don't interrupt!"

"...Okay, you say it, you say it." He Crab seemed to be able to talk about such a profound topic because he had been opened up to Ren and Du.

He Xia was interrupted by Ye Zhaoling, and he waited for a while before returning to his topic: "When Luke said, 'It's just that their eyes were confused and they didn't recognize him,' he also meant that he didn't recognize him.

Jesus, in the same situation, something blinded them, and it was not until Jesus broke the bread and celebrated the Holy Communion that they knew so well that they recognized the transfigured Jesus.”

“As the Gospel of Luke shows, while their minds were in a state of ignorance regarding the truth that Christ must die and rise again, their eyes were in the same state;”

"In fact, it is not the truth of the facts itself that is misleading, but their own inability to recognize the truth of the facts, and they see what is happening in front of them completely different."

“A particularly profound truth is that a person cannot think that he has gained the knowledge of Christ unless he is a member of the body of Christ—his church.”

"The unity of the church is known to us through the symbol of bread explained by an apostle. He said: 'Though we are many, yet we are one bread and one body.' So, did it happen when Jesus handed them the blessed bread?

At that moment, their eyes suddenly brightened and they recognized him?"

"In other words, is it because at this time, the obstacles that prevented them from knowing Him no longer existed, and they opened their eyes to know Him?"

"Of course, the two of them were not driving with their eyes closed, but their vision was blurred by something and they were unable to correctly observe the things in front of them. This situation is very common in darkness or some kind of illusion."

"However, this does not mean that Jesus cannot change his physical form, so that his appearance actually changes, and he is no longer what his disciples saw before."

"Indeed, just before his crucifixion, he changed his image on the mountain, and his face was as bright as the sun. Not only can he change real water into real wine, he can also transform any real body into a real body at will.

Any other form."

"And what I mean is that in the eyes of those two people, Jesus' image was different from his previous appearance, not because he really changed his physical form. They saw him as different from before, but because they were blind and could not recognize it.

out of Him. And we can also imagine that this blinding leaf comes from Satan, and the purpose is to prevent them from recognizing Jesus."

“Yet they were able to recognize Christ at the moment when he broke the bread and celebrated the Lord’s Supper.”

"This tells us a truth. Only when we become members of the unified body of Christ can we experience the elimination of obstacles and gain the freedom to know Christ."

After He Xie finished speaking, he leaned close to Ye Zhaoling's ear and asked coolly: "You feel that your eyes suddenly lost sight. What are the chances that you were tampered with by the devil?"

"Mr. Crab, I have to say that your image is quite amazing." Ye Zhaoling gave it a thumbs up.

While Ye Zhaoling couldn't see anything, He Xia rolled her eyes silently: "Aren't you worried at all? You can't see anything now. What if some unscrupulous thing digs a hole for you on the road?

The pit is filled with steel knives, just waiting to harm you, a blind man like you. How do you avoid it? Can you avoid it?"

"That's not true, Mr. Crab, you are thinking too much. There is no such a wicked guy." Ye Zhaoling shook his head, where did so many wicked ghosts come from in broad daylight?

"Haha, Jesus couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be framed! Then didn't Judas betray Jesus for money? Take a look at yourself, you might have offended someone somewhere, and they are trying to mess with you!"

"If you ask me, it's better to ask the nobles. They have great powers, but they are just blind. There is no way to cure them."

"I know, I will find a way..." Ye Zhaoling was thoughtful.

The river crab tapped his tongs and whispered: "Luke wrote in the following words, 'While he was saying these things, Jesus himself stood beside them and said, 'Peace be with you, (it is I), do not be afraid.

)' But they were very frightened and frightened, thinking that what they saw was a spirit. Jesus said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do you have doubts in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, and you will know that it is really me. Touch me.

Look! A soul has no bones and no flesh. You see, I do.'"

"After he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. John also wrote about what Jesus showed to his disciples after his resurrection. He wrote: 'On the evening of the first day of the week, where the disciples were, there was a fear of the Jews.

, and the doors were shut. When Jesus came, he stood among them and said to them, 'Peace be with you!' After he had said this, he showed them his hands and his ribs.'"

"And after the words of the Gospel of John, Luke also recorded, and John abbreviated the content, Luke continued like this: 'They were overjoyed and could not believe it, and were astonished; so Jesus said to them, 'You have here

Do you have anything to eat?’ They gave him a piece of roasted fish and a piece of honeycomb. He took them and ate in front of them (and gave them the rest).”

"After these words, Luke abbreviated, but John provided the content, and John wrote: 'The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. And Jesus said to them, 'Peace be with you! How the Father has sent me.

, so I am sending you.' Having said this, it is as if they breathed on you and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them; but whose sins you retain are theirs.

Just stay.''"

"After this part, you can add another part that John did not mention but that Luke recorded."

"Luke writes: 'Jesus said to them, This is what I told you while I was still with you: Whatever is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms

All the words must come to pass.’ So Jesus opened their minds so that they could understand the Scriptures.”

“And he said to them: As it is written, the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
