Mark 16, Matthew 28 (14th November) - Sylvia

The Resurrection

Hallelujah!! Jesus has risen from the dead! As both Marys went to the tomb to anoint Jesus's body with spices, they found it empty and were informed by an angel of God that Jesus has risen and would be going to Galilee. When they ran to spread the news, Jesus appeared before them again

The Guards Report

Afraid of being punished, the chief priests told the guards to say that Jesus's disciples came and stole his body in the middle of the night. And this story was spread around many Jews. Sadly so, it has a impact as people will not believe that Jesus has risen and is indeed the Messiah.

The Great Commission

The eleven disciples met with Jesus as they went to the mountain of Gaililee. Some believed yet some doubted. Jesus rebuked them for thier lack of faith as He had many things for them to accomplish in his name.

The Great Commission, even in G12 which everyone is called upon to fuflfil:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." - Matt 28: 19-20


Be disciple-makers!
