Jesus gives a bold promise to all Christians. He will be with you wherever you go. There is nowhere you can go where Jesus is not with you. At least until the end of the age.
At the end of the age, the promise will end for those who will be condemned to eternity in Hell. In Hell, God is not present. That's what makes it Hell.

A renewed focus on discipleship seems to come along to the Church every couple of years. All kinds of different programs are put forward to help in the discipleship process.
But what does Jesus say about discipleship? What program would He use? The same one He gives right before He ascends...2021-09-1401 minWrestling with TheologyConfessional Corner: The Church Is Not a Monarchy (Ap VII 23-50)The adversaries perhaps require that the Church be defined in the following way. To them, the Church is the supreme outward monarchy of the whole world. In this Church the Roman pontiff's power is unquestioned. No one is allowed to argue against it or criticize it. ... Therefore, the pope must necessarily be lord of the whole world, of all the kingdoms of the world, of all things private and public.

This verse causes no small bit of concern and confusion for interpreters. Hasn't Jesus always been God in the flesh? How could all authority be given to Him just now? After His resurrection? Didn't He already have it before?
Of course He had all authority before. Jesus' statement is for the strengthening of the Apostles' faith. While He had all authority before, they did not understand it.

Jesus appeared to the Apostles on the Galilean mountain. They worshiped Him, but some of them were doubtful as to what was going on. Unfortunately, this hasn't changed since the Apostolic Church. People still come to worship, even stand in the pulpit, and are filled with doubt about what they hear and teach. They worship with doubt.
Doubts about the same things the Apostles doubted. Did Jesus '''REALLY''' rise from the dead?

He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.

After the guards left, the elders had one more problem to take care of. Eventually someone would tell Pilate what happened at Jesus' tomb. There was no stopping the rumors and whispers about something like this.
But the chief priests promised that they would keep the guards' jobs intact. They would find a way to placate, pacify and satisfy Pilate's desires to keep a riot from happening (Matthew 27:24).

The soldiers went to the elders. They were given their marching orders. The frozen hearts begin the greatest hoax in human history. Spreading the same story that they had tried to persuade Pilate to guard Jesus' tomb. The Apostles stole Jesus body while they were sleeping.

After the angelic earthquake and the revelation of the empty tomb, the guards began to stir. They stayed at their post until the women had left. They knew they weren't going to be able to blame this catastrophe on this handful of weak women.
They had thawed from their supernatural freezing, and their minds were reeling. What do we do?

The adversaries have added a long essay stating that the wicked are not to be separated from the Church, since John the Baptist has compared the Church to a threshing floor on which wheat and chaff are heaped together (Matthew 3:12), and Christ has compared it to a net in which there are both good and bad fish (Matthew 13:47).

And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me" (Matthew 28:9-10).''
As most of the angelic visions in the Bible begins, Jesus' first message to the women running back to Jerusalem is, "Do not be afraid." With Jesus' resurrection, there is no more need to fear anything. As Jesus Himself said, "Do not fear those who kill...2021-09-0601 minWrestling with TheologyMoment of Meditation: Rushing Joy (Matthew 28:8)''So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples (Matthew 28:8).''
Having seen the angel, the women rushed from Jesus' empty tomb. Joyous that Jesus had been raised from the dead. He was alive! Now they needed to tell the disciples.
While they were excited over the news, any angelic appearance causes fear. A heavenly being gives you a message. It's frightening because these angels stand in holy God's presence.

He told you He wouldn't be here. That's the angel's message. He has risen from the dead. He is no longer in the tomb.

Who are you looking for? The women at the tomb were looking for the dead Jesus. But Jesus wasn't there. He had been raised. But they did not know that yet.
The women came to the tomb because they were listening to the prophets. Isaiah had once said, "Seek the LORD while He may be found" (55:6). But they weren't listening to Jesus.
