Luke 24:36-41 (Easter Sunday Service Sermon) The resurrection was real, and it was physical. It begins with Jesus` own words: “See My hands and My feet, that it is I myself. But what does it matter for your hearers? Jesus` physical resurrection was good for Him, but unless your hearers have some advantageous connection to Him, the historicity does not matter much. This is where some apologetic attempts to demonstrate proof of a physical resurrection fall short. Even if we had evidence of the empty tomb, the benefit of Jesus` resurrection for anyone beside Himself would still be a matter of faith.
