– over nature –

With his death and resurrection, Jesus had unquestionably given proof to the disciples of his divine mastery. During the following 40 days, surreal though they were, Jesus took another go at convincing his band of followers of the essentials of his character, now essentially theirs. This truth was still a mystery to them, still a stretch to conceive of the Kingdom ‘status’ gifted to them. They were still struggling with residual, self-imposed, condemnation for their recent abandonment of him.
