Luke was the subject of the RCL Gospel reading last Sunday. It amazes me how much meaning and how many interpretations can be packed in such few words. Jesus returns to his disciples as flesh and blood. His first words were, "Peace be with you." It would not be the peace of a long and comfortable life. It would be that greater inner peace that comes at a great price. Their fears were reassured with "Touch me and see." While we can not literally touch and see, we can through the amazing power of faith and belief "touch and see" that God is very real.
Peace be with you.
