Matthew 28

http://www.esvbible.org/Matthew+28/

Mary from Magdala and Mary, Jesus' mother, went to the tomb three days later. Suddenly, there was another earthquake. An angel of the Lord came and moved the stone and sat on it. He was dressed in white and shone with light. He told the women not to be afraid. He told them Jesus had been crucified but no longer lay here. He's gone to Galilee. He tells the women to inform the disciples. He told them they could look at where He lay and see that He is gone. The Marys ran in joy to do as the angel told them. On the way, they ran into Jesus and fell to His feet, worshipping Him. Jesus told them not to be afraid and to go tell the disciples. We don't have to be afraid anymore. Jesus overcame all.

Meanwhile, the guards went to the chief priests and told them what happened. The chief priests gave the guards money and told them to tell the people that the disciples came in the night and stole the body. They spread that lie even to when Matthew wrote the gospel. The chief priests were so deep that they felt they had to continue to lie. They had to keep going because they were too far gone. They were evil, wicked men.

The disciples went to Galilee to see Jesus. Some still doubted until He approached and told them that now He had all authority. He places some of that on us through the Great Commission. He tells us to go to all nations and make disciples. Teach them to follow Jesus. Above all, remember that Jesus is always with us.
