(KJV.) ST. MATTHEW 27:64
(64) Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead so the last error shall be worse than the first.
WAS IT AN ERROR?
Grace be unto you! Funny, isn't it! At times, it is difficult for wrongdoers to accept the facts that they did wrong, render apologies for their wrongful actions: for some, saying sorry, I was wrong; is a difficult thing to do; however, as we live together and move around in this world, there will be misconceptions about things we do not understand about others, offenses may come as a result of our poor judgments to react negatively towards them; however, as believers, it is of Christ, to be humble, whenever we realize our faults against others, offer apologies for wrongful behaviors, by doing so, we ease the tensions from the mindsets of both parties, purifing hearts of filthiness, hindering undetermined negative reactions.
After Jesus was crucified, the event surrounding his death, proved to his persecutors that he was truly the Son of God, cf. Matthew 27:54; their eyes of understandings lightened, realized that they crucified their Messiah; what would anyone do in such a case? For, Jesus has already died, the harm was done; did they offered apologies to Mary the Mother of Jesus? Not a chance! Rather, they went to the authorities, told them the truth of what actually happened, admitted that it was an error on their part to crucify the Son of God, regardless, covered up their wrongful action, justified themselves; the ponder point is, was Christ's crucifixion an error?
Beloved, when the persecutors realized that they have crucified their Messiah, they secured his sepulchre, by sealing the entry stone, setting a watch over it, cf. verse 66; to make sure that he did not resurrect as prophesied, cf. Matthew 12::40; 26:61; 27:40, 63; sealed or unsealed, Jesus resurrected from the tomb on the third day as prophesied, instead of the persecutors admitting to the fact that he had risen, they covered up the truth of matters, created another lie to cover up a lie, that his body was stolen from the tomb by his disciples; this is the second and hopefully the last error of this matter; is it? friends, let us never cover up wrongdoings, always tell the truth of matters, even if, it is a matter of life or death, call the spade, a spade, if wrong, render Christlike apologies, love, share and live peaceably with all men. Have a Happy Easter! Jesus is coming back again soon! Amen and Amen!
