Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified. Why should not the seekers of Jesus fear? I. Because in seeking Him, they have an evidence that He has sought them, and found them, and touched their hearts. II. They that seek Christ should rejoice; for in seeking they shall certainly find. III. In finding Christ, they find everything suited to banish their fears. Christ has magnified the law. Sin taken away that troubles the conscience; death disarmed of his sting; the grave of its terrors; the dominion of Satan destroyed. IV. Nothing shall finally separate them who have sought and found Christ (Romans 8:38, 39). (H. Foster.)
