Today's Daily Lesson comes from Matthew chapter 28 verses 11 through 15:
11 While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 After the priests had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 telling them, “You must say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told . . . to this day.
They said it was Fake News.
They said the Body had been stolen. They said the victory of God had been stolen.
And the priests and elders went to all kinds of great links to devise a plan to fool the people about the truth. For as Pilate the governor said, "What is truth?"
But Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life . . ."
And the truth is there is more life in His way than there is death and deception in the ways of this world.
And in the end, the truth prevails; and the goodness of God wins out over all the evil schemes of the world.
Thanks be to God!
NOTE: We are reading the whole Bible through this year. Tomorrow we will read Luke 24 and John 20 and 21.
