More on Matthew 28:1-10

From last night's discussion, I just wanted to share a few things that were on my heart to share.

The first, is a quote from Oswald Chambers, which I think really encompasses how easy it is for us to be unable to receive inspiration from God, mainly because we are hardened some of the familiar doctrine's like the resurrection.

God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His Spirit. An obstinate outlook will effectually hinder God from revealing anything to us. If we have made up our minds about a doctrine, the light of God will come no more to us on that line, we cannot get it. This obtuse stage will end immediately His resurrection life has its way with us.

As we go about our day-to-day life, I hope that we will start to wrestle with the message of the gospel, and that we will seek God's inspiration to show us what it really means for our lives. Like the disciples, perhaps the more that we understand the freedom and hope that it brings, the more we will feel compelled and inspired to live a life in response.

Here are some additional verses that may be helpful to read and reflect on throughout this week:
Acts 4:13
1 Corinthians 15:14
John 20:11-19
