Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:1-15
Opening Prayer
Introduction
Exposition 1
1 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
Timing: It is Sunday, early in the morning
Jewish tradition, visit grave for 3 days
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
Notice, The angel did not raise Jesus from the dead but simply opens the tomb
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.
The guards were petrified in fear.
5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.”
I. Jesus has risen and defeated death (1-7)

Exposition 2
8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Why Galilee?
Wouldn’t Jesus just go to the Temple and prove He was right?
...
Why Brothers?
Every other time “Brothers” is used in Matthew it is used of all disciples, not just the 12/11
II. Jesus’ mission was good news for the world and not just a nation (8-10)

Exposition 3
11 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.
12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers
13 and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
14 And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
III. The facts of the ressurection will not convince unbelievers (11-15)

Remember what the Jewish leaders said when Jesus was on the cross
42 “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
