Mathew 28 v 8 to 15

REFLECTION.

Let's call this reading the great power of the RESURRECTION of Christ. The Scribes and Jewish leaders it will be the great sham/bribery. This lie is still spoken about today that the disciples stole the body.
Let's look at this reading logically.
The guards were told to lie and say that they were sleeping and the disciples stole the body.
So, how would they have been able to say what happened to the body? surely, if one told what happened, then he would have woken the other guards. 
How dumb were the Jewish to think up such a story. 
OUR JESUS IS ALIVE AND REIGNS.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus, we thank you for your victory over death and the hope through your resurrection. 
Teach us to be bold to share your Good News of your love and grace. May we be guided by you to obey your commands and follow in your footsteps. We kneel in awe of your great love for us.
Amen.
