We might sometimes ask ourselves: “Why didn’t Jesus appear to Caiaphas, Pilate, or the Jewish high priests who had put him on the cross? Or to those people who had made fun of Jesus when he was crucified, after the resurrection?
Jesus could say to them: ‘Hey, look, I have risen from the death! Now what do you say?’ If he had gone to them directly, it would have been much easier to proclaim his Gospel to the world. Why didn’t Jesus do that?”
