Matthew 28: 2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
The guards were afraid, but the church leaders got together a cover up. They paid the guards to say that the disciples stole the body. They said they would back the guards' story if it was questioned.
It's incomprehensible to me that the leaders of a church would act like that in the face of all the evidence that God was behind the resurrection. Hypocrisy of the highest order was evident. I'm thinking that the point of this for me is to doubt authority. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and lesser amounts of power also corrupt. God is really all we can trust.
Prayer: Lord, You are almighty. You have the best plans for our lives, but we can't see them. Hold us close and comfort us as the wicked world tries to keep us down.
Amen
