A question worth sitting with

Why didn't people recognize Jesus after the resurrection?

Mary Magdalene thought He was the gardener. Two friends walked seven miles with Him and didn't know. What happened?

It's an oddly repeated detail in the resurrection accounts. Something had changed in Him — or in their ability to see. Either way, recognition only came in specific moments: a name spoken, bread broken.
