The Great Commission included instruction for the Apostles to teach their disciples to obey everything Jesus commanded them.  If everything Jesus commanded them had been included in the Gospels, there would be no need for the letters that make up the rest of the New Testament.  But so much of the New Testament are letters from Paul!  Who's Paul?  Should we listen to him?  If he is a legitimate Apostle, that means we have to obey everything he taught!  From Titus 1:1-4.

The angels joyously announced the birth of Jesus; the angels rejoice over the resurrection of Jesus!  The resurrection seals the whole testimony of God.  The resurrection proves Jesus is all He claimed to be.  The resurrection changes everything!  It frees us from all our fears and sets our lives on God's intended course.  There is only one right response to the resurrection of Jesus Christ!  From Matthew 28:1-20.

Jesus is dead. The priests and Pharisees have won! They are so confident and clever. They anticipate the next and final deception and take steps to prevent it. Yet in truth, they have it all wrong. Not only do they overestimate Jesus' disciples, but they, like the disciples, believe they have succeeded. On the contrary, everything they have done has only served the purposes of God. They haven't won. Jesus did! But they, and the disciples, are still looking at things from a human point of view. What about you and me? Do we recognize the victory in this moment? From Matthew 27:51-66.
