Devotional: Matthew 28:11-15

Today’s passage: Matthew 28:11-15

Helpful thoughts:

  • The soldiers were risking much in exchange for the money.  They could have been executed for their failure to guard the tomb.
  • The chief priests and elders heard the report, came up with a lie and paid soldiers (Probably a great deal of money) to spread it.  They didn’t even try to refute the truth!
  • Even though the chief priests and elders knew that Jesus was no longer in the tomb and that a miracle had happened, they refused to believe. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

Questions to consider:

  1. Can you think of some reasons that the story of the disciples stealing Jesus’ body would be ridiculous?  Was it just the chief priests and elders who refused to believe?
  2. Why didn’t these Jewish leaders believe?  What was their mission?
  3. How should their rejection of the obvious encourage us to share the Gospel with the lost?  Who has to be on our side for our witness to be effective?
