Not everyone saw Him, but over five hundred did. The apostles ate and drank with Him. The resurrection appearances were not hallucinations, but physically real events. The people who saw Him had been chosen by God as witnesses. You see, in everything God does He involves men and women (and the very first witnesses were women). The only exception to this was the cross itself, our only contribution to the cross was the sins that nailed Him there.

In the Great Commission Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:19,20), and in the teaching He gave to them in the days before the ascension (Acts 1:3, 8). Notice the emphasis on God appointing Jesus “as judge of the living and the dead”. How much do we preach on this aspect today? Not enough must be the clear answer. Everyone will have to face Jesus as judge. Only those who believe in Him will survive such an encounter.
