Matthew 28

Mat 28:5 And the angel answered and said to the women,
Do not fear, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
Mat 28:6 He is not here, for He has risen, as He said.

ah...
So the story does have a happy ending!

Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,
All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.

maybe I should take that back.
the story doesn't end...

Mat 28:19 Therefore go and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you.
And, behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the world. Amen.

ok, so the world ends,
and he is with us until then.
That's good enough for me!

I'm not trying to be flippant,
I just don't have very much to say.

but...

Of all the things he has done so far
that have amazed me,
this last one is the pinnacle,
the peak,
the one I will probably never really comprehend.
(but that's okay)

Destroying the Temple,
and raising it up again in three days.

awesome.

Praise the Lord!

I'm happy to be here,
at the close of this first gospel.
This has been a great journey for me so far,
and I hope to continue.

I can't wait to see how the next gospel will affect me,
knowing that it is the same story,
but presented in a slightly different way.

Maybe hearing it a different way
will make me understand it a different way
than the way I do right now.
or don't.

any way...

I Give Thanks
for what I have received so far.
