                                     The Week of  Sunday, April 27th
                                                Matthew 28:5-7, 18-20 
                                                           (Message Bible)

Risen from the Dead
5-6 "The angel spoke to the women: "There is nothing to fear here.  I know you're looking for Jesus, the One nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed.  
7 Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples. 'He is risen from the dead. He is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.' That's the message." 
18-20 Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge:  "God authorized and commanded me to commission you:  Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in the way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age."
