Matt:27:17 When they saw Him, they worshipped Him, but some doubted. Jesus is standing before them. But still some doubted. Who are these few who doubted? The very ones who were with Him. Those who were in the eleven. Not the ones who were far from Him. His very own. Believing is a choice. Even if He comes and stands before your naked eye, you still have the choice to believe or not. The choice is yours. You can open your eyes and see or disbelieve, experiencing what is happening around you. But believing is better. Jesus' promise is I am with you till the end of days. And that is the truth. Whether you believe it or not. Image credit: https://wallpaperscraft.com/download/mug_steam_table_122769/800x600
The teachers of the law thought cunningly to disprove the act of Jesus as He foretold, that He will arise from the dead. Pilate set up a guard to prevent this rumour. Now if Jesus rises from the dead, the false news of His disciples taking away His body and claiming His resurrection would be highly likely. So better not to be dramatic about the resurrection. That would have been better. But Jesus does as was planned. Do things what you are expected to do, no matter what the consequences might be. Do the right things in the right way in the right time. Not fearing of rumours or false news or accusations. And see, when Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to many. The rumour did spread. But the fact that He is risen from the dead, gives hope to all people living in fear of death, even 2000 years later. That death has been conquered.
