EXPLORE Week 7: The Resurrection of Jesus – Matthew Chapter 27: 62-66 and Matthew 28: 1-20

Questions and thoughts
- How can human become alive again after death?
- The appearance of the angel was just an illusion.
- Which one would you be more amazed by: 1) The resurrection 2) An angel from heaven?
- How people knew it was an angel instead of God?
- (28: 18) “All authority…” Jesus was the God of gods at that moment?
- (28: 20) “…obey everything…” This seems really difficult because it could cause lots of conflict with our society or others.

Insights
- Which one would you be more amazed by: 1) God 2) angel?
- (28: 15) And “this story”…it is about the false story that the disciples stole the body of Jesus.
- (28: 1-20) ‘afraid’~4 times, ‘see’ & ‘saw’~4 times, ‘look’ & ‘looking’~2 times
- Isaiah 9: 6,7 shows that Jesus is the King, Isaiah 53: 2-6 shows that Jesus is a servant. During the journey to the cross, we could see clearly that Jesus was a servant. In Matthew 28: 9, 17 ‘worshiped’~2 times and this shows that Jesus is the King
- (28: 9) ‘clasped’ is a firm grasp, tight embrace. This shows that Jesus was real not an illusion.
