This sermon from Matthew 28:1–20 proclaims that the risen Jesus commands a response. Matthew presents three distinct responses to the resurrection: believers respond with joy and worship (vv. 1–10), the world responds with fear, deception, and contempt (vv. 11–15), and disciples respond with obedient action by carrying out the Great Commission (vv. 16–20). The message calls hearers to behold the living Christ, remain faithful amid opposition, and actively participate in making disciples, resting in Jesus’ promise of His ongoing presence.
