Matthew 28: 1-15 - The Empty Tomb

In this sermon, we continue our series in Matthew's Gospel and consider the empty tomb. The women who go to the tomb early on the Sunday morning find it empty - and then meet with the risen Jesus.

The guards fall into a faint when they see the angel of the Lord and the stone rolled away. After speaking to the priests, they accept a bribe and spread the rumour that Jesus' body was stolen by the disciples.

We are therefore confronted with the empty tomb - and we have to  decide for ourselves what happened as we weigh up the evidence.

First preached: 27th April 2025.
