worship Jesus

Matthew 28:9&10
"9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held Him by the feet, and worshipped Him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell My brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see Me."

Jesus’s tomb was a scene of high drama. Mary Magdalene, the other Mary, and the other women arrived to anoint His body. Suddenly, a violent earthquake struck as an angel descended from heaven, rolled back the massive stone, and revealed the empty tomb. The angel’s appearance was like lightning, and the hardened Roman guards shook in terror.

The angel reassured the women, confirmed Jesus had risen just as He promised, and invited them to see the empty tomb for themselves. Then came the urgent command: “Go quickly” and tell the disciples the central truth of Christianity—“He has risen from the dead.”

As the women ran with fear and great joy, Jesus Himself met them. His appearance confirmed the angel’s message with undeniable proof.

“Greetings” (Greek: Chairete) means “Rejoice!”—a warm, familiar word that invited them to celebrate His victory amid the awe.

The women fell at His feet, grasping them in worship. This act of homage acknowledged Jesus as the risen Lord. Jesus repeated the angel’s words, “Do not be afraid,” then called the disciples “My brothers,” offering full forgiveness and restoration despite their recent failure. He directed them to meet Him in Galilee, where He would later deliver the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20).

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
