"Do you remember the occasion when Jesus returned to
that upper room after his alleged crucifixion 'and saith unto them, his (disciples), Peace be unto you' (Luke 24:36) and his disciples were terrified on recognising him?" I asked so many christians Why should they (the disiples)be terrified?" When one recognises one's long-lost friend or one's beloved, the natural reaction is to feel overjoyed, elated and one wants to embrace and kiss the hands and feet of the beloved. Why did they get terrified?" They always reply that. They (the disciples) thought that they were seeing a ghost." I ask, "Did Jesus look like a ghost?" they all say, "No." "Then why did they think that they were seeing a ghost when he did not look like a ghost?"
