Matthew 28: 11-15 NLT The Report of the Guard 11 As the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the leading priests what had happened. 12 A meeting with the elders was called, and they decided to give the soldiers a large bribe. 13 They told the soldiers, “You must say, ‘Jesus’ disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.’ 14 If the governor hears about it, we’ll stand up for you so you won’t get in trouble.” 15 So the guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told to say. Their story spread widely among the Jews, and they still tell it today. We believe we are independent thinkers, but the reality is no one in this world thinks independently. Those who influence others build their ideas on others. Where do we even start nowadays? People get out their version of the story on all sorts of media outlets. From TV to TicToK, people form and influence what we think, and sometimes we don't even know it. Jesus said he would rise again on the third day, and He did. Yet here are the soldiers who know the truth but were paid to lie about it. They are even fed the lie they are to spread- "Jesus' disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body." Now consider Jesus' disciples; they all died for what they believed. If the lie the soldiers were paid to spread was true, they all died for what they knew was a lie. Almost all the disciples died brutally not naturally, of old age or disease. Below is a video that tells us what the Bible records and what is traditionally believed concerning the disciples' deaths. The lie that Jesus didn't rise from the grave is disputed to this day. I watch videos from those who believe and defend that lie. We should know what they are saying but also know how to answer them as well. This is why I also read and watch videos made by those who believe Jesus was raised from the dead. If you have questions about Jesus' resurrection, ask those questions. There are good and relevant answers to your questions. This is Good News! Have a great day, Loved Ones, and God bless you real good!
