Each of the Gospels ends in a distinctive way.  Mark focuses on the empty tomb and the fear of the first witnesses; Luke on the appearances of the risen Jesus to the disciples, his ascension, and their preparation as witnesses; and John on a series of appearances of the resurrected Christ, especially to Peter. Matthew … Continue reading “Matthew 28:16-20 Commentary by Stanley Saunders”

Donald Juel, meditando  en el relato de la resurrección en el Evangelio de Marcos, escribió que: Ninguno de los Evangelios puede realmente poner fin a la historia de Jesús. El hecho es que continúa — y que su significado continúa.1 Esta declaración concisa es un resumen bastante justo del significado de la Pascua. La resurrección … Continue reading “San Mateo 28:1-10 Comentario por Rolf Jacobson”

Mateo 28:1-10 contiene dos de los tipos de relatos acerca de la resurrección que se encuentran en los evangelios del Nuevo Testamento: un relato del sepulcro vacío en los vv. 1-7 y un relato de la aparición del Jesús resucitado en los vv. 8-10. El sepulcro vacío (vv. 1-7) Las dos mujeres que visitan el … Continue reading “San Mateo 28:1-10 Comentario por Gilberto Ruiz”

When I was a child, I expected to wake up on Easter morning to find a basket, mysteriously delivered by a rabbit, filled with chocolate eggs waiting for me. I also expected to wear a hat and white gloves to church, to sing “Jesus Christ is Risen Today,” and to be joined by my grandmother … Continue reading “Matthew 28:1-10 Commentary by Holly Hearon”

The resurrection accounts in the four gospels have similarities and differences. They are similar in that in each case the event is on a Sunday morning (two days after the crucifixion), Mary Magdalene is present at the tomb, and the tomb was found to be empty. But there are differences. (1) In the Synoptic Gospels … Continue reading “Matthew 28:1-10 Commentary by Arland J. Hultgren”

Donald Juel, reflecting on the resurrection account in the Gospel of Mark, once wrote that: “[N]one of the Gospels can really end the story of Jesus.  The whole point is that it continues–and that its significance continues.”1 Juel’s concise statement is a pretty fair summation of the meaning of Easter.  Christ’s resurrection means that the … Continue reading “Matthew 28:1-10 Commentary by Rolf Jacobson”

We have to imagine our way into the moment described in this story. For this day the preaching shoulders a proclamation of both ultimate folly and ultimate salvation. What the preacher must say today puts the preacher in the stead of the story’s angel who speaks to the women who have come to “see the … Continue reading “Matthew 28:1-10 Commentary by Melinda Quivik”

¿Cómo relatamos una historia que la mayoría de nuestro público ya sabe de memoria? ¿Cómo proclamamos las buenas noticias cuando, por muchos de nuestros oyentes, son simplemente las noticias de ayer? Este es el desafío homilético y exegética que nos enfrenta cada Domingo de Ramos, cuando cada año la cruz se nos presenta, los bancos … Continue reading “San Mateo 27:11-54 Comentario por Eric Barreto”

La hora ha llegado. Y también a nosotros y a nosotras nos toca de nuevo leer la historia de la crucifixión de Jesucristo nuestro Señor. En los últimos pasos hacia su cruz, Jesús casi no abre la boca, pero sí escuchamos a la gente que encuentra en su llegada a Jerusalén, y que comunican mucho, … Continue reading “San Mateo 27:11-54 Comentario por Amanda Olson de Castillo”

The Passion Narratives in the four gospels are similar to one another in major respects. They share in common the following major events: Jesus’ arrest, his arraignment before officials of the Sanhedrin on Thursday evening, his trial before Pilate on Friday morning, his suffering, and his death. Beyond those things in common, there are distinctive … Continue reading “Matthew 27:11-54 Commentary by Arland J. Hultgren”
