Mateus 28

Wesley put it in his great hymn: “Lives again our glorious King, Where, O death, is now thy sting? Dying once He all doth save, Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!” (Play Christ the Lord is Risen Today) (BORROW Preacher's Sourcebook 2008 page 89) If Dr Jeremiah's quotes intrigue you, you might be interested in BORROWING Last words of saints and sinners by Lockyer, Herbert - THIS IS A FASCINATING BOOK TO READ! Running to Tell So the women . . . ran to tell his disciples. Matthew 28:8 Today's Scripture & Insight : Matthew 28:1–10 The modern-day marathon is based on the story of a Greek messenger, Pheidippides. According to legend, in 490 bc he ran approximately twenty-five miles (forty kilometers) from Marathon to Athens to announce the Greeks’ victory against their formidable foe, the invading Persians. Today, people run marathons for the personal satisfaction of an athletic achievement, but Pheidippides had a greater purpose behind his effort: each of his steps was run for the sheer joy of delivering good news to his kinsmen! Some five hundred years later, two women also ran to deliver good news—the most pivotal news in all of history. When Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb where Jesus had been placed after His crucifixion, they found it empty. An angel told them that Jesus had “risen from the dead” and to “go quickly and tell his disciples” (Matthew 28:7). The women, “afraid yet filled with joy,” ran to tell the disciples what they’d discovered (v. 8). Who shared the good news of Christ’s resurrection with you? How will you share it with others today? God, I rejoice because of Your victory over death. Thank You for allowing me the privilege of sharing this good news with those You’ve put in my life. RELATED HYMNS Day of Life and Joy!

And the fact that their emotions were coupled with great (megas) joy (chara) indicates they were not terrified. Place yourself for a moment in their sandals. They came to the tomb downcast, but left with great joy. Indeed, is this not what the truth of the resurrection of Jesus should do for all of His disciples? (Rhetorical). His disciples (mathetes) almost certainly refers to the 11 core disciples. Warren
