How preachers through history handled this text
35 public-domain excerpts on Matthew 28, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“This evangelist passes over other appearances of Christ, recorded by Luke and John, and hastens to the most solemn; one appointed before his death, and after his resurrection. All that see the Lord Jesus with an eye of faith, will worship him. Yet the faith of the sincere may be very weak and wavering. But Christ gave such convincing proofs of his resurrection, as made their faith to triumph over doubts. He now solemnly commissioned the apostles and his ministers to go forth among all nations. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Matthew 28:16–40 (Public Domain)
