Matthew 28:11 says, Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.  While the women were on their way to tell the disciples that Jesus had risen, the guards were on their way to tell the chief priests all that had happened.  When we see something miraculous happen today, there will always be those who will attempt to discredit it.  Verse twelve states, And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,  In this case, it was the religious leaders who were willing to pay to discredit the miracle of the resurrection.  The Bible says they paid the guards a lot to lie about what happened.  People today are still willing to pay a lot to attempt to discredit Jesus.  Some even go to war in order to do so.  Verse thirteen declares, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.  The chief priests, those who were supposedly the spokesmen of God, made up the lie for the guards to tell.  The guards were to say that the disciples stole the body of Jesus.  Since the responsibility of the guards was to keep this from happening, this put them in a bad position.  Anyone who attempts to add to or take away from the gospel of Christ is guilty of spreading a lie.  Verse fourteen states, And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.  The chief priests were even willing to lis to the governor if necessary.  The religious leaders said they would protect the guards by lying for them.  There are still religious leaders today, though hopefully not those who profess to follow Christ, who will go to any extreme to discredit the gospel of Christ.  Verse fifteen states, So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.  The guards did what they were paid to do and told the story they were told to tell.  This lie was believed by many Jews, God's chosen people, until the day this book was written, and they still believe it today.   Verse sixteen states, Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.  The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to a mountain that Jesus had appointed.  We are not told how they received these instructions from Jesus, but we can be certain that they did.  We do not always know how God is going to speak to us today, but if we are following Christ, we can be certain that He will.  Verse seventeen says, And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.  The disciples had scattered at the crucifixion, but now were gathered together at the instruction of Jesus.  When they saw Jesus, they worshipped Him, and yet some of them still doubted.  When people truly encounter Christ today, some accept and worship Him as their Savior and Lord, but many more doubt and refuse to accept Him.  Verse eighteen declares, And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  Jesus declared His divine authority.  He has power over heaven and earth.  Verse nineteen states, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Jesus gave the His disciples, those there that day and all who have come since, their commission.  We are to take the gospel of Christ into all the world, and to baptize those who accept Christ in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.   Then, verse twenty continues, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.  We are not just to reach people with the gospel and forget them, but we are to teach them to live in accordance with the teachings of Jesus.  We can do this without fear, because Jesus has promised that He will be with us always.
