Shown (feet). (Luke 24:39,40). In a post-resurrection appearance of Christ, he said: “Behold my hands and feet.” That they are not ephemeral, but flesh, real, true, showing nail holes, or effective in the world as fulfillments of prophecy and ready to work teaching and carrying this prophetic gospel, of which they are proof, to other spirits. These hands and feet show the nail holes of his crucifixion, proving not only that he is the same as that Crucified, but he is the fulfiller of the Prophetic concerning Messiah.
The nature of that evangelistic knowledge revealed and to be explained is immediately stated by Christ in Luke 24:44–48: “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.”
