IS IT TRUE?

By L. F. C.

It is said that Christ met with his disciples on several first-days after his resurrection; some say he “invariably” met with them on that day; thus distinguishing it from other days. Where do they get the information? Every time that the first day is mentioned in the four gospels, it refers invariably to one identical day. Where do they get so many? Search and see. It is not certain that “after eight days” from Sunday night, means the next Sunday; it might be a day or two later, as all know. Where, then, is the evidence that he met with them more than one first-day, from his resurrection to his ascension? I will tell you, my friend. This period was just forty days; and Luke says he was “seen of them forty days.” Acts 1:3. Now you have the proof; but it proves too much for your purpose; it proves that the first day of the week was not distinguished from other days by the meetings of the risen Saviour with his disciples.
