CHRIST IS RISEN!

CHRSITOS VOSKRESE!VOISTINU VOSKRESE!
The marks of the nails.
Theodoret of Cyr: And so, the reason why the Lord stood in the midst of the disciples, even though the doors were closed, after the passion but not before it, was that you might know that your body was sown as a physical body but raised as a spiritual body.” But in order that you might not think that what rises is something different, when Thomas did not believe in the resurrection, he shows him the marks of the nails. He shows him the scars of the wounds” He who healed everybody even before the resurrection could have healed him- self—especially after the resurrection, could he not? Yes, but through the marks of the nails that he shows he teaches that it is this [body], while through the closed doors by which he enters, he reveals that it is not such a [body as it was]. It was this [body], in order that he might fulfill the goal of the divine plan by raising that which had died, bur it was such a body [as it was], in order that it might not lapse into corruption again and not be subject to death again. Dialogue 2.56.
