[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 68637006, member: 293637"] There are several explanations for not recognizing Jesus, and they aren't mutually exclusive. For one let's consider the fact that all Jesus' disciples had just experienced a tremendous shock and let down--their Rabbi, and the One they hoped to be the promised Messiah, just died a tragic and terrifying death by crucifixion at the hands of the Romans; they are defeated, emotionally and mentally. Further, resurrection is more than just resuscitation, Jesus has been glorified in the body, His body has been transformed, glorified, and it is indeed possible that for reasons unexplained in the text this was a contributing factor. I'm not saying people who believe in reincarnation don't believe in treating people well; but what I'm saying is that Christianity centers itself around the belief of a God who made all things and who considers what He made good and to be taken care of and that it really does matter. So for Christians the resurrection of Jesus isn't simply a nice story, it's the Gospel--the good news--that God is saving, renewing, and restoring the entirety of creation. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
