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.
