You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ\u2014he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.\u2019<\/p>\n Matthew 28: 1-10<\/strong><\/p>\n After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, \u2018Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, \u201cHe has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.\u201d This is my message for you.\u2019 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, \u2018Greetings!\u2019 And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, \u2018Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.\u2019<\/p>\n New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicised Edition, copyright \u00a9 1989, 1995 the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.
