Matthew 28:11-20
These verses form the conclusion of the Gospel of Matthew. They begin by showing us what absurdities blind prejudice will believe, rather than believe the truth; they go on to show us what weakness there is in the hearts of some disciples, and how slow they are to believe; they finish by telling us some of the last words spoken by our Lord upon earth — words so remarkable that they demand and deserve all our attention.
Let us observe, in the first place, the honour which God has put on our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord says, “All power is given unto me in heaven and earth.”
