Sermon: Resurrected Senses | Luke 24:36–49 | Jesus Appears to His Disciples

As human beings we have five basic senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. The sensing organs associated with each sense send information to the brain to help us understand and perceive the world around us. In our text for today, the sense of hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste are all in play. The disciples hear Jesus speak and He invites them to touch Him, and then they see with their eyes that He is indeed resurrected in the flesh. “While they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, He said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and He took it and ate it before them,” engaging the senses of both the smell of a fish boil and the taste of a fish. The disciples understand and perceive through the resurrected senses of both themselves and Jesus that Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
