Wednesday, February 20, 2013  -   Matthew 28

 

Matthew is the only Gospel writer who records the posting of the guard at the tomb.  In this chapter he also give the report of the guards following Jesus’ resurrection. 

 

28:1-10            The guards were so afraid of the Angel of God that they shook and became like dead men?    What do you think they were afraid of?

 

What emotions would you expect from these women at the tomb?  What emotions do you feel as you read this chapter?

  

28:11-15    Why are the chief priests so desperate to stop the report of the Roman soldiers?   What does the failure of their plan tell you?

  

28:16-17          What events have inspired you to worship Jesus?  What has caused yout to doubt?  How have you overcome your doubts and continued to worship Him?

 

28:19-20          What is Jesus’ last command to His people?  The word “go” could also be translated “while you are going.”  What does that imply to you as you seek to fulfill this command?

 

28:20               What promise accompanies Jesus’ command?   What does that mean for you?   When have you felt the greatest need for the fulfillment of this promise?
