Matthew 28:1-20
Dear RTB’ers,
Jesus’ Resurrection. Words fail me. The best that I can do is to try to “put myself into the story”. I imagine that I were there, alongside the women meeting the angel or with Jesus’ disciples in Galilee. And even then I am awestruck – that He had done what He had said that He was going to do, to die and rise again! Never in history had that happened – and never again!! We will all meet Him one day and I expect that our response will be similar to the women in today’s reading, And they came up and took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him. (v. 9b)
I am sad for the Jewish leaders. After all that they had heard and seen, after their many verbal battles with Him, and now this story from the guards – and the leaders still fought against the truth that Jesus was who He said He was. I want to believe that some of them, possibly many of them came to faith as they heard the apostles preaching and teaching in the temple after Pentecost. Maybe we’ll find out one day.
And now we go back to Jeremiah.
Blessings.
