Everyone is Welcome
W hat do we know about Jesus after his resurrec-tion? Well, we know at least that he was hun-gry!
Both Luke and John re-port after-death appear-ances of Jesus where he wants some-thing to eat. And in two of the stories he ends up eating grilled fish. So he wasnt a vegetari-an either!
On one level we can see these two accounts as just simple stories that give us a bit more extra detail than we normally have about Jesus social hab-its. But there may be something else going on in the two gospel writers minds.
How do we meet the ris-en Jesus today? Clearly the most obvious way is through other people. Through our baptism we are called to become other Christs. We are called to be Christ to
each other and we see the face of Christ in all people who require our care, our concern and our service. We meet the risen Christ in the liturgy when minis-ters and congregation gather, for Jesus said that wherever two or
three gather in his name he will be present.
We meet him in the words of scripture. Far from being some ancient book of religious formu-lae the scriptures are the living word of God. When the scriptures are proclaimed in church it is God who speaks.
And while we are ready to say that Christ is pre-
sent in the sacraments, it has to be the Eucharist that takes pride of place for meeting the risen Lord. For it is in eating and drinking the body and blood of Christ that we come closest to him. St Augustine never tired of telling his congrega-
tion that they would become what they ate: the Body of Christ, which is al-so the name we give to the Church.
At what precise moment did the two Emmaus disciples realise that they were in the pres-ence of their risen Lord? It was when he broke the bread for them to eat.
What was it that Jesus asked the apostles for in both Luke and Johns gospel? Something to eat!
N ot surprising really, because when we eat that bread and drink that cup we proclaim Christs death and resurrection until he comes again.
