Jesus is Alive April 17, 2022 Matthew 28:1-10 Guest Founder Kava Ministries Allison Huckaby Resurrection Of The King Jesus The King The Paschal Lamb Lives
Although all four Gospels tell about the resurrection of Jesus, each of the accounts includes a different set of details. These differing accounts are difficult to put together into a full picture of what happened and when they happened. But what is certain is that Jesus’ tomb was empty, the women received an angelic announcement of the resurrection, and Jesus appeared to His disciples. There was no doubt in the mind of Matthew and the other early Christians that Jesus was indeed alive. Knowing this, we should realize that we too are called to believe the resurrection.
III. THE MIRACLE AT THE TOMB (Matthew 28:1-4)
The women’s arrival at the tomb (Matthew 28:1).
The arrival of the angel (Matthew 28:2-3).
The fear of the guards (Matthew 28:4).
We will never be able to duplicate the experiences of the women who went to the tomb; nevertheless, great things happen to those who seek Jesus (Matthew 28:1-5).
IV. THE MESSAGE TO THE WOMEN (Matthew 28:5-7)
Jesus is risen (Matthew 28:5-6).
The angel’s instructions to the women (Matthew 28:7).
Our message is the same as it was for the women: “He is risen from the dead”
V. JESUS APPEARS TO THE WOMEN (Matthew 28:8-10)
The departure of the women (Matthew 28:8).
We don’t need to depend on our eloquence to communicate our needs to God; He already knows our needs
The encounter with the risen LORD (Matthew 28:9-10).
As we carry out the LORD’s mission, we will encounter His presence and encouragement
Ironically, one of the proofs that Jesus really rose from the dead is the fact that none of His followers expected Him to do so. The Eleven Apostles were in hiding and other disciples mourned. None of them would have invented the account of the resurrection. Evil men conspired to put Jesus to death, and evil men conspired to keep Him in the grave; but they could not succeed. Jesus rose from the dead, literally and bodily. The grief-stricken women were the first of Jesus’ followers to learn that He had risen. That fact was impressed upon them by an angel, a look into the empty tomb, and a personal appearance by Jesus Himself. For those women, the resurrection was an overwhelming experience. May we all likewise, be overwhelmed by the reality of the “Resurrection of the King,” our risen LORD and Savior.
