MATTHEW GOSPEL: THE OTHER RESURRECTIONS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Matthew records nine special events that are not mentioned in any of the other Gospels. In each case, the most apparent reason for Matthew's choice has to do with his purpose in communicating the gospel to Jewish people. Five cases are fulfilment of Old Testament prophecies (marked with asterisks on the subject). The other four would have been of particular interest to the Jews of Matthew's day.
b) Here is one of the cases.
1. Subject
a) The other resurrections
2. Scripture text: Matthew 27:50-53
i) 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. (Matthew 27:50-53 NKJV)
