Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.” Matthew 28.10
A major theme of this chapter…
· And go quickly and tell His disciples… v. 7
· Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee… v. 10
· Go therefore and make disciples… v. 19
The message seems to be go, but we generally stay.
The Way it Works-
Christ has won victory over death and the grave
Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Corinthians 15.54
Victory over the grave=life.
Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15.57
Without life, Christianity is pointless.
And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile;
you are still in your sins!
1 Corinthians 15.17
We should do two things…
1. Experience the life of Christ.
Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6.4
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 10.10
2. Share the life of Christ with others.
Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28.19
Take Away Point-
Jesus is alive and he lives forever.
He has offered his life,
New life,
To all of us.
I will receive his life, his peace, his joy
And share with others.
