 Mary saw him at the empty tomb. Then he walked with two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Then he joined the disciples in the upper room. And because Thomas wasn't there the first time, he returned to the upper room a second time. And he wasn't just a spirit. He ate with the disciples. He invited Thomas to put his hand in the wound on the side and examine his hands where the spikes had been. Jesus was in a real body. Yet he could appear in a room and disappear again. 500 people witnessed his appearance on a single occasion.
