Matthew 28 Audio Bible


Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “[a]Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”


And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met them [b]and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus *said to them, [c]Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”


11 Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this should come to the governor’s ears, we will win him over and [d]keep you out of trouble.” 15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day.


16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 [e]Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you [f]always, even to the end of the age.”

Take Time With God #99: The secret to constant joy


The apostle Paul is in prison chained between two guards. If anyone knows the secret of constant joy it is Paul who twice wrote in Philippians also while in prison “Rejoice always and again I say rejoice”.  Ray has found that same secret for his life and will share it on this edition of Take Time With God.

Do you have to be water baptized to be saved? The Larry and Ray Show

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Baptism.jpg

Jesus told us that we Christians are to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned” (Mark 16:15–16). Being water baptized is a direct act of obedience to Christ that powerfully shows all who see it that the one being baptized fully intends to follow Jesus as their Lord. It is a beautiful experience the Lord has set aside for every Christian (Colossians 2:12).


So what if a person sincerely asked Christ into their heart (Romans 10:8–9) but was never water baptized before they died? Would that person have proven they really were a disbeliever who didn’t intend to obey Christ even in something as simple as that? Would they be fully born again and on their way to Heaven or to hell? That’s the major subject of this Larry and Ray Show today.
