You Can't Unsee | Week Three | Luke 24:36-43 | April 19th, 2026

This week, we find Jesus in a room full of terrified skeptics. To prove He isn’t a ghost, a hallucination, or a metaphor, He does something profoundly ordinary: He eats a piece of broiled fish. By insisting on His "flesh and bones," Jesus confronts us with an objective reality that refuses to bend to our personal preferences.

We live in a "Live Your Truth" culture that promises freedom but often delivers exhaustion. When we try to author our own reality and invent our own identity, we end up with no anchor—untethered and responsible for holding our own universe together. Joel reminded us that boundaries aren't cages but rather they are the architecture that allows for beauty. Like the banks of a river or the meter of a song, God’s objective truth creates the Shalom (wholeness and order) we crave. The Resurrection is the most solid ground in the universe—a fact that allows us to stop performing and striving for identity and start receiving who we truly are in the eyes of the Creator.
