Matthew 28:7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead;
Such good news ought to be spread quickly. "Go and tell his disciples," they are trembling, they have fled, - "that he is risen from the dead."
Matthew 28:7. And, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
Brethren, this is good news for us tonight, though all may not, perhaps, feel the power of it. "He is risen." We have no dead Christ; we serve a living Saviour. He is risen, and therefore he can come to us tonight in the power of his resurrection-life, and he can make us glad. "Behold, he goeth before you into Galilee." There is a great deal about Galilee in Matthew’s Gospel; it is the Gospel of the Kingdom, and yet it often talks about Galilee, that border-land which touches Gentiles, as well as the chosen seed of Abraham. There is the place where Jesus will meet his people, in the border-land between Jew and Gentile, there the risen Christ will hold the first general assembly of his Church.
