Questions I Answered on Catholic Answers Live – Jesus during 40 Days between Resurrection and Ascension
Another fun show during the 40 days between Jesus’s resurrection and ascension. Where was he? To whom did he reveal himself? Did 2,000 people witness his resurrection?
Questions Covered:
What kind of body did Jesus have after his resurrection? How will that effect us?
Where did Jesus appear in those 40 days?
Who did Paul list as witnesses and why were there no women included as his witnesses?
Paul said that 500 brothers saw the risen Lord. Was it really 2,000 with youngsters who would be witnesses into the 2nd century?
- 18:54 – Why didn’t Jesus keep the wounds from his scourging, but only the five wounds?
- 23:05 – Since Jesus has a body in heaven and so does Mary, are we going to have the same bodies purified and cleansed in heaven?
- 43:12 – It makes sense to me that Jesus changed his physical appearance, and they didn’t recognize him. I’m a recovering alcoholic and people didn’t recognize when I became sober.
- 50:50 – 1. Cor 15:28 What does this mean? And how do I respond to people who claim this disproved Jesus divinity?
Vine, Branches & Fire: Where Will You End up?
One must care for their land. We own 1/2 an acre of land and a while ago I was cutting wild vines out of the trees and burning them. The overgrown branches from the bushes and trees were also trimmed and burned.
The flames brought to mind the words of Jesus in John 15:5–6, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.”
This is a good visual for the readings today.
Love these multiple short notes of conversion
This week has seen several such emails and personal comments as I gave talks in several venues in Texas. People wandering through various denominations and religious groups before discovering their true home in the Catholic Church.
Here is one such e-mail I received today and it can be multiplied many times. The Church has it’s problems, but it always has. But the Church is also alive and still attracting the best and the brightest of Protestant Christians into her arms of love and truth.
We had an email exchange a few years ago now. At that time I think I was still a pastor in a Protestant church having grown up Catholic until 16. I am currently an itinerant evangelist. I just wanted to let you know I came back into the Catholic Church on Easter vigil this year.Thank you so much for taking the time to message me. Thank you for your books and YouTube content all playing a huge part in my journey. I have a road ahead that may get painful and lonely ministry wise but I am not frightened of that.I appreciate prayer as my family although not opposed are not on this journey with me just yet. God bless you and family immensely in all you do for the Lord and His church!

Horace famously said that you can drive nature out with a pitchfork, but she will always return. The same is true of the supernatural character of the Church. Heresy and bad governance can partially and temporarily obscure it, but Providence restores its lustre in its own time
