Matthew 26-28
Soak in the work of the Rescuer. I was nearly breathless as I read the work of redemption that our Lord accomplished in these chapters. Here is Matthew's listing of the events:

Very interesting Bro Ron! Isn't it amazing how much more lively these words are since we walked together through these streets our wonderful Saviour (MESSIAH) walked and saw where they cruicified him and yes, the tomb is still empty! Hallelujah, he is risen! Love bro! Roy
I just have a question: several times we have read that Jesus took Peter, James and John with him to some very important events in his life. Why were these three chosen for such times and not all (or different) disciples?
I had to come back as I kept reading! In Matthew 28 verses 13-15, it tells where the soldiers told the Priests what they had witnessed about the resurrection. The Chief Priests instructed the soldiers to tell everyone that Jesus' body was stolen by his disciples instead of the truth. Then it says "this story was widely spread among the Jews even to this day". As you read in the Old Testament, it is very obvious to us that the coming of Messiah is being told, and Jesus is the fulfilment of these scriptures. But the Jews don't believe Jesus is Messiah. It would seem that this story created by the priests and elders has also been passed down through the generations and this could explain why Jesus isn't believed to be the Messiah by most Jews in our time. Kind of makes you go "hmmm", doesn't it?
Sweetteaqueen,
I've often wondered why Jesus took Peter, James and John on those important events and not all or others. Maybe we'll get an answer here. I also had to go hmmm when the significance of the Cheif Priests command to the soldiers to tell everyone that Jesus' body was stolen by His disciples. It made me wonder if that is in part why there are many Jews today that reject Christ as the Messiah. It's so sad to see what the adversary put in their hearts to do over 2000years ago still has an affect on the Jews today.
