Matthew 28:1-10 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was
dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the
Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. His face shone like lightning, and his
clothing was as white as snow. The guards shook with fear when they saw him,
and they fell into a dead faint.
Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he
said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn't here! He
is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body
was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from
the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.
Remember what I have told you.”
The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very
frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the
disciples the angel’s message. And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted
them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go
tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”
HE IS RISEN!!!!
Now we, like his disciples, are commissioned to be his
witnesses here on earth. Matthew 28:18-20
Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven
and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new
disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am
with you always, even to the end of the age.”
