Acts 1:3 - Additional Comments

Here we have Apologetics, even in that day, for people always demand the evidence. Jesus made sure there was sufficient evidence. There were multiple instances, over forty days. He showed them it was He, alive, by eating, by the scars. Also, people could see it was Him, by the words He spoke - they were the things of God.
Also, by repeatedly reappearing to them, this filled their need for the evidence - they became satiated with the evidence, so there was no question to them. This shows how well Jesus understood them, and also shows how well He understands us. We may be frustrated with our human-ness, i.e. our failings, weaknesses, doubts, etc., but He is showing that He understands that, and works with us in our human-ness.
