Matthew Chapter 28

28:1bWhen the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, came to see the sepulchre. 2And 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. 3And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. 4And for fear of him, the keepers were astonished, and became as dead men. 5And answering, the Angel said unto the women, Fear not: for I know that you seek Jesus which was crucified. 6He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was laid. 7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Behold, I have told you.

28:8So they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his disciples word. 9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, God save you. And they came, and took him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid. Go, and tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

28:11Now when they were gone, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the high Priests all the things that were done. 12And they gathered them together with the Elders, and took counsel, and gave much money unto the soldiers, 13saying, Say his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14And if this matter come before the governor to be heard, we will persuade him, and so handle the matter that you will not need to care. 15So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is noised among the Jews unto this day.

28:16Then the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto a mountain, where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but they doubted. 18And coming up, Jesus talked with them, saying, All power is given unto me, in heaven, and in earth. 19Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:1 20teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even unto the consummation of this age.

Meditation…

“When talking with others all harshness should be avoided; for modesty and self-restraint adorn an intelligent person even more than a young girl. An intellect that enjoys the love of God is a light that shines on the soul, just as the sun shines on the body.” St. Antony the Great (251-356 AD)

1Which Name is, of course, Jesus Christ! The only name under Heaven by which we can be saved!
