… have anything to eat? He's there in the room with the disciples and he asked for food. And they bring him a piece of broiled fish. And it's fascinating because in Luke 24, 42, it says, they gave him a piece of broiled fish and he ate it as they watched. They're like, wait, is this real? Is he really here? Is this really Jesus? I'm, you know, is, are we going to see the fish? Is he translucent? What's going on here? He was in his risen body, which was similar to his other body. It was the same Jesus. On another occasion he said, it's I, not someone else. Says me, guys. He still had the marks of the crucifixion, which he will also have in heaven, by the way. We beheld him as a lamb who had been slain, reminding us how we got up there in the first place. But he was giving to us a sense of what is coming for each and every one of us as well. Jesus in effect was a prototype in his resurrection body of what our resurrection bodies will be like. Colossians 3 says, when Christ who is your life appears, you will be like him.

Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures and said to them, Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are my witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high. And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. …
… As a matter of fact, this Egyptian, matter of fact, we find this out in a few minutes, a little bit later. Matter of fact, as a matter of fact, they gave him a piece, verse 12, and they gave him a piece of cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights. The man was about to die and they showed him kindness. But he was a part of the army of the people who invaded Ziklag zigzag and burned it down and took the sons and daughters and the wives of David. And yet they show him kindness. Some of the people you need to be the kindest to are the people who might be the meanest, who may have hurt you, done you harm, ruined your reputation, got you fired.
