Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:16-20

Matthew 28:16-20 (with 1 Corinthians 15:6 ) The question meets us today, as we think of the narrative of the text, How do we stand related to that assembly on the Galilean mountain, and to that last command of our adored Lord? The answer which I trust we shall all feel disposed to give is this, that we are related to that assembly just as though we had formed part of it, to that last command as though we had heard it in audible words from the lips of our Lord. That we may be confirmed in... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:18

Matthew 28:18 The Omnipotence of Jesus on Earth. The power of Jesus in heaven is revealed to us that we may know that to Him is also given all power on earth. He whom God hath highly exalted, who is the Lord of glory and the Prince of the kings of the earth, who is head over all things to the Church, and under Whose feet the Father hath put all things, rules and governs in silence and calm omnipotence, unknown and unrecognized by the world. All earthly events and historical movements, all... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:19

Matthew 28:19 This passage has always been regarded by the Church of Christ as teaching most clearly the doctrine of the Trinity. "Name" is never used in Scripture in connection with abstract things or qualities, but always with persons. As the personality, so the Divinity, and consequently the equality of the Three are distinctly set forth; for the name of the Son and of the Spirit are coordinated with that of the Father; the same faith is demanded of us in regard to each of the Three Persons.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:19-20

Matthew 28:19-20 The Uniting Name. I. A set of Galilean fishermen were bidden to teach or make disciples of all nations. In some way or other these Galileans did make disciples among Jews, the worshippers of the I AM, the Jehovah; among Greeks, the worshippers of human heroes and the forms of nature. Consider what was necessary to bring these two portions of the world into a common fellowship. Those words which He spoke as He stood on the mount, "All power is given unto Me in heaven and earth,"... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:1-20

Chapter 28In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to the sepulchre. And, 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. And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment was as white as snow: and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 28:1-20

The history and evidences of our Saviour’s resurrection, being of infinite importance, are reserved to the last chapter of St. John. Matthew 28:1 . In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week. Εις μιαν Σαββατων , towards the first of sabbaths. The Vulgate Latin reads the same: in prima sabbati. Calvin also says, Le premier des sabbaths. See Luke 24:1. These readings intimate that the sabbath, or first day, was appointed by the Lord himself, as... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 28:16-20

Matthew 28:16-20Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee.On the mountainI. Is the world’s need any less now than it was then? The needs of the human soul are still unsupplied by any material satisfactions. The conscience of the world is still troubled with the old problem, “How shall man be just with God.” If the gospel be withheld from the knowledge of mankind the problem remains insoluble. The misery of man is great upon him still. “Go ye therefore,” etc. Tell men that God loves them.... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 28:18

Matthew 28:18All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.The prerogative of the SaviourI. The prerogative itself.1. Its nature-“power.” This means authority and ability.2. Its extent-“all.”3. Its acquisition-“given.”II. View it in reference to his personal character. When an individual obtains elevation we are anxious to know something of his qualities. We would not wish an ignorant, unfaithful, impatient, unmerciful man to possess power. Christ gave Himself for us; power in good... read more
