Góðar fréttir

Gröfin er tóm!

Jesús er upprisinn og hann lifir!

Get ekki annað en sett með eftirfarandi tilvitnun úr glænýjum Matteusar-kommentarnum mínum: The devil has lost. The devil had offered Jesus authority over all the kingdoms of the world if only Jesus would worship him,

but Jesus's whole life was a refusal of that offer.
It was a refusal that required Jesus to endure rejection and crucifixion, but through that endurance he has triumphed.

He alone now has the authority to send the disciples to the world to make disciples of all the nations....

....The disciples are now equipped to be sent to the nations, baptizing them into the death and ressurection of Jesus to make them citizens of his death-defying kingdom.
