Matthew 28:7. And Behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
That is a very beautiful touch of condescension on the Saviour’s part,-that he would go before his disciples into Galilee. Why, Galilee was the very opposite of a classic region; it was a district that was much despised. The clod-hoppers, the boors, the illiterate people of no account, lived in "Galilee of the Gentiles." "Yet," says Christ, "I will meet you there." It was the King’s own rendezvous,-not in the courts of earthly monarchs, nor in the palaces of the priests, but away down in Galilee. What cares he for the grandeur of men, and their empty pomp and boasted wisdom? He goes to places that are despised, that he may lift them up by the glory of his light: "Behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you."
