The Resurrection

Scripture Passage: Matthew 28:1-10

The two women in the passage were friends of Jesus and they came to visit His tomb to pay their respects. When they got there they expected the very heavy tombstone to still be in front of the tomb. However, God had sent His angel to roll it away. The angel was also a messenger to the two women. The women went to Galilee as the angel told them, but on their way Jesus appeared to them. They were so happy to see Jesus and so overcome with love and awe that they fell at His feet in worship. Jesus had died but had conquered death and He rose again to reign victorious as King. He is the risen Lord, our friend and Saviour and we should fall before Him in worship for what He has done.

Questions:
1. Who rolled the stone away from the entrance to the tomb?
God's angel.
2. Who had risen from the dead?
The Lord Jesus.
3. What did the women do when they saw Jesus?
They fell at His feet in worship.
