Moment of Meditation: Unfrozen Guards (Matthew 28:11)
''While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place (Matthew 28:11).''
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? Do we go back to the elders and tell them what happened? Do we just head for the hills and hide for the rest of our lives?
They decide to go into Jerusalem and tell the chief priests. So the chief priests knew the truth about the resurrection. But that didn't change their minds about Jesus. He was still not the Messiah they were looking for.
Instead of coming to faith in Jesus, they froze their hearts against Him. Do not have a frozen heart. Let the good news of Christ's resurrection warm your heart with His love. Amen.
