Matthew 28

He is Risen! Fear and Joy

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew 28. We have now come to the final chapter in the gospel of Matthew, and now at the end of his scroll Matthew, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, begins to recount for us the resurrection of his crucified Lord. And the story itself is gripping and even surprising in its own way. Last week as we looked at the end of Matthew, chapter 27, we said that the overarching thing was God’s providence. Even in the death and burial of the Lord Jesus Christ God was preparing to vindicate Christ in His resurrection. We saw that the Lord was preparing the way to show that those who were accusing Jesus of being a deceiver, the Sanhedrin, were in fact themselves the deceivers. We begin to see that worked out this week. But now as…

The Chief Priests’ Story

If you have your Bibles I would invite to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 28. We come today to our ultimate message in this series on the gospel of Matthew. Next week will look at the great commission next time we’re together and then into the gospel according to the apostle Paul in the book of Romans. And we continue today to look at the theme of the resurrection. We looked last week at Matthew, chapter 28, verses 1 through 10 and the story in which Matthew recounts the events of power surrounding the resurrection itself, the reaction of the guards, the reaction of the faithful female disciples who were there at the tomb to anoint, to continue to prepare Jesus’ body. And in so showing us those events, Matthew gave us an important testimony to the truth of the resurrection and the…

The Great Commission

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 28. Today, we finally come to the end of our study in the gospel of Matthew, and recently as we have reviewed Matthew, chapter 27 and 28, we have seen over and over this overarching theme on the providence of God. God’s providence in Jesus’ torture and persecution. God’s providence in Jesus’ death, His burial and now in His resurrection. And even in the passage we looked at last week, where Matthew basically…

It's a good thing for every church to pause and reflect from time to time on the great commission, and ask ourselves whether we are actually obeying the great commission. When we do so, we may be a little surprised. We may be a little surprised about what's in the great commission.…

Ligon Duncan III If you have Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew 28.
