WOTMQ: 40 Days
In the Book of Acts, it says that Jesus appeared numerous times to his disciples after his resurrection... over a period of 40 DAYS!!! And yet, we know nothing of those 40 days, despite the author of John saying how incredibly busy Jesus was during that time. So, in terms of telling his life story, we get third parties writing decades later, and then absolutely nothing about what Jesus did on Earth for those 40 days after his resurrection. Sounds legit, right?
Thanks gang, for all your continued support. Enjoy! B

D'oh!!!
Since you have a bit of a show business background, what would you do if you came up with a hit song or two? Maybe go out on tour? Put out an album? Do a few commercials? So, Jesus stuck around, showing off the holes in his arms and side and giving speeches/sermons to one and all, traveling all over the world. Wait, he was pulled off stage where no one could see him ever again? 40 days? He should have been on tour longer than The New Kids on the Block.
Why didn't he just stick around and help humanity out? So ridiculous!!!
Where was Jesus, who is “fully God”, on Saturday, the day after he died? I’m not talking about the dead body, but the mind. Alive? Conscious or not? When Jesus said on Easter that he had not yet ascended to the father, what was the infinite god-man doing all this time? If active, the omnipotent god doesn’t need days or hours to do anything. Modern Christians believe expiring believers are ushered immediately into the presence of God upon the moment of death. Shouldn’t Jesus have been treated at least as well upon expiring on the cross on Friday? So why didn’t God-the-son meet God-the-father on Friday upon his death?
I was taught that he spent that time preaching to the people that had died before him without the knowledge of believing in him to allow them a "second chance" to be "saved" and go to heaven.
Y'mean… y'mean… during those 40 days Joshua of Nazareth didn't even organize a nice pot luck weekend for all the other zombies who also resurrected when the graves were opened? Tsk.
Socially, He was completely inept. Some say he was on the spectrum. But I don't think that's fair. I know a number of people on the spectrum and they've never threatened anyone with eternal torment.
