The Messianic Culmination - Matthew 28:1-15 - a podcast by Rev. Gregory G. Capel, Jr.

Everything Matthew has recorded, beginning with the Messianic chronology, has led to the Messianic culmination. Matthew proved beyond any doubt that Jesus is the Son of Abraham and the Son of David. As such, He is the prophesied Messianic King. As the Messiah, He was divinely appointed to die to “save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). However, death is not the end for the Messiah. The Messiah has yet to reign as King as prophesied. Therefore, Jesus must be raised from the dead.
If the Messianic cessation was the climax of Mathew’s gospel narrative, then the Messianic culmination is its resolution! All of Matthew’s records are built towards Messiah’s death. Now, the Messiah’s death is resolved with His resurrection. Matthew sets forth two aspects of the Messianic culmination or resurrection — the confirmation of the resurrection and the circumvention of the resurrection.
