Matthew 28:7

"He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying."

Key Reflection

This passage highlights the fulfillment of Jesus' own predictions about his resurrection. By pointing to the empty tomb and inviting disciples to see for themselves, the women emphasize that what happened is precisely as Jesus had foretold, underscoring both his divine authority and the certainty of faith in his promised return.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 7. Tell his disciples. Mark adds particularly, tell "Peter." This was a kind message to Peter, who had so recently denied his Lord. It would serve to cheer him in his despondency, and to assure him that his sin had been forgiven; and it shows the tender love and remembrance of Jesus--even for his unfaithful friends. {i} Lu 24:34; 1 Co 15:4 {k} Mt 28:16,17 __________________________________________________________________
