Mathew's Account of the death and Resurrection of Jesus (conclusion)

Through the eyes of Mathew 27 (conclusion)

Jesus was dead and buried. It was the first day of the week. Mary and the other Mary had come to see the sepulcher or the tomb where he was buried, And then there came a great earthquake and the angel of the Lord came down and rolled the stone away from the door of the tomb and sat upon it.

The angels countenance was like lighting and his raiment was as white as snow. At seeing him those watching the tomb started to shake and fainted.

The angel told the women not to be afraid because he knew they had come to find Jesus, the one that was crucified.

He said to them, "He is not here. He has risen. Come see the place the place where he lay." Then he told them to "Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead. He went before you into Galilee and you will see him there."

The excited and yet a little bit fearful as well the women ran to find his disciples. But before they got far, Jesus met them  and they held his feet and worshiped him.He told them not to be afraid but to go and find his disciples and tell them that they would see him in Galilee.

While they were on their way there, some of the people that had been watching went to the chief priests and reported what had happened. And after the chief priests counseled together, they gave a lot of money to the soldiers  They told them to lie and say that his disciples had stolen his body during the night.

In the mean time, the disciples went to a mountain that Jesus had told them to go to. When they saw him, some worshiped him but others doubted. Jesus said to them. "All power is given to me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Hello Friends. Thank you so very much for your patience while I have been away from this blog. I believe now that I should be here most everyday, having had some time to work on things I needed to do.

Today we ended with Mathew's account of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We will start on Mark's account soon, but tomorrow I want to summarize Mathew's account and add a few thoughts. So I hope you will come tomorrow for that post. In the meant time, thanks for coming by and may your day be blessed as only the Lord can bless it!
