He then showed himself in familiar form, and taught for many days. Being briefly unrecognized is a tiny & weak peg to hang the cloak of disbelief upon. Also, it was the flesh that was temporarily dead, not him. Many believe he taught the fallen angels during the 3 days the body was in the tomb, after which he raised it in a burst of light.

Apply it as if everything depended on it, because it does. Confess that you have made errors with that free will, as we all have, and ask forgiveness.
