Matthew
28 – Jesus Overcomes His Enemies
In
His death and resurrection, our Lord defeated the world (John 16:33), the flesh
(rom. 6:1-7), the devil (John 12:31), and death itself (I Cor. 15:50-58). We
need not be afraid of life or death, time, or eternity (Rev. 1:17-18).
Because
His followers forgot His resurrection promise, they were sorrowing instead of
rejoicing. Even after Jesus’ followers saw Him alive and heard Him speak, some
of them still doubted. The Lord always keeps His promises, no matter how dark
the day may be.
When
the women ran to share the message, they met the Lord; you always meet Him in
the path of obedience. The Shepherd goes before the sheep and prepares the way
for them (John 10:4). You have a living and victorious Savior who has
everything under control. Trust Him!
He
has all authority; He commands us to take the gospel to all nations; and He
promises to be with us always. Christians are to go.. and make disciples,
baptizing them and teaching them to obey. And they are to accomplish all of
this by His power and for His sake, through His Spirit. “I am with you always” What
more assurance could we want? We are His ambassadors (2 Cor. 5:20) and should
be faithful to Him in all things.
