A Real, Physical Resurrection
Commentators stress that Jesus went to great lengths to prove he was not a ghost. By inviting the disciples to see his wounds and touch his 'flesh and bones,' he confirmed the resurrection was a tangible, bodily event. This wasn't a vision or a spiritual appearance, but the return of the same Jesus who was crucified, offering undeniable proof of his identity and victory over death.
