Tell the disciples, that they may be comforted under their present sorrows. Public usefulness must be chosen before the pleasure of secret communion with God. It was good to be there, but the servants of God have other work appointed. It may have a good effect upon us, by faith to view the place where the Lord lay. Let us never think that strange which the word of Christ has told us to expect whether the sufferings of this present time, or the glory that is to be revealed. When we are ready to make this world our home, and to say, It is good to be here, then let us remember our Lord Jesus is not here, he is risen therefore let our hearts rise, and seek the things that are above.
Our communion with him must be spiritual, by faith in his word.
Fear not ye, for his resurrection will be your consolation. The angel encouraged the women against their fears. The resurrection of Christ, as it is the joy of his friends, so it is the terror and confusion of his enemies. Our Lord Jesus could have rolled back the stone by his own power, but he chose to have it done by an angel. On this day did He who is the Light of the world, shine out of the darkness of the grave and this day is from henceforward often mentioned in the New Testament, as the day which Christians religiously observed in solemn assemblies, to the honour of Christ. On the first day of the first week God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. (16-20)1-8 Christ rose the third day after his death that was the time he had often spoken of. (11-15) Christ's commission to his disciples.
And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.ġ0 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.ġ1 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.ġ2 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,ġ3 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.ġ4 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.ġ5 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.ġ6 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.ġ7 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.ġ8 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.ġ9 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Ģ0 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.ħ And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.Ĩ And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy and did run to bring his disciples word.ĩ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. 1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.Ģ And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.ģ His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:Ĥ And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.ĥ And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.Ħ He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
