Episode 286 Overview
At Witty & Gritty, we use our Read, Pray, Talk, Tell method to dive into scripture. This week’s episode walks through Matthew 28: 5-8. As we READ through this scripture, we can see that Jesus is risen! Tune into the episode to hear all our tips for reading through this particular set of verses.
“Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.” The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message.”
Matthew 28: 5-8
As we PRAY over this scripture, remember that we have access to the same God that parted the Red Sea, healed leapers, and raised people from the dead. Pray those big, impossible prayers, and watch God move you through sanctification. In this moment in scripture, we can see that multiple feelings can be experienced. The mix of joy, relief, and shock must have struck them hard, all while handling the task to tell others.
As we TALK through this verse, think of ways you can sympathize in this situation. How would you hope to respond? Would adrenaline be pumping though your veins, or would you need a bit more convincing? Have you ever been in a situation God has given you a clear message, but you hesitate for one reason or another? Has fear or lies from satan held you back? Have fun discussing this with your Biblical community.
As we TELL through Matthew 28: 5-8, we know that it’s important to spread the amazing sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He has made a way for us to be with Him forever. We have hope in Jesus because He lives. Once you cross the line of faith, your lens in which you view the world begins to shift into a Biblical worldview.
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
