After the sufferings of his cross, Jesus appeared alive many times to these same apostles over a forty-day period.
Jesus proved to them with many convincing signs that he had been resurrected. During these encounters, he taught them the truths of God's kingdom realm
Acts 1:3 TPT
What was next for Jesus team?
40 days of learning.
40 days of hearing Jesus teach
40.days of being reminded about the ressurection. The word here for signs is literally "signposts". Markers that point the way.
40 days of preparation for what's next.
There are times in our lives where stopping is OK.
Where learning is the priority
Where preparing for what God has next is where He has you.
It took some time and markers, signposts, for Jesus team to fully "get" the ressurection and how that changes everything, more than just one breakfast.
If you're figuring some stuff out with God, or walking with someone who is, take your time.
Jesus ressurection changed everything.
Let it change us.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
