Matthew 28: Jesus is risen

Jesus came to win over sin and death.
we read:

1-4 After the Sabbath, as the first light of the new week dawned, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to keep vigil at the tomb. Suddenly the earth reeled and rocked under their feet as God’s angel came down from heaven, came right up to where they were standing. He rolled back the stone and then sat on it. Shafts of lightning blazed from him. His garments shimmered snow-white. The guards at the tomb were scared to death. They were so frightened, they couldn’t move.

We Christians understand that through Jesus, we have power to overcome sin and death. Jesus is our king. We belong to his kingdom. We read:

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 this 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.”

The church is the place that baptize people in the name of the Father , Son and Holy Spirit. It is also the place where the we receive the teachings of Jesus and transmit it to others. It should be the place where earth and heaven are together.
