Ray Bentley, MATTHEW 28:9-20, June 28,2020
The disciples met the risen Christ personally! When we obey the Lord, we will experience divine visitaions; that is when He comes to us. The Lord's first two appearances were to believing women. The great cover up exposes the darkness of the religious leaders who knew the truth of the Resurrection but rejected the truth. But those who believed worshipped him when they saw Him. The entire Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the authority of Jesus Christ. Since Jesus has all authority, we can obey Him without fear. No matter where He leads us, no matter what the circumstances, He is in control! "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." —Isaiah 40:31
