“if this come to the governor’s ears” [Matthew 28:14]

“if this come to the governor’s ears”. Did the chief priests and elders really think the Resurrection could be kept secret? The tale about ‘stolen while the guards slept’ must have worn very thin!
Jesus appeared to His disciples after the Resurrection. That He was alive was attested by many infallible proofs.
The launch of the church on the Day of Pentecost and its phenomenal growth was built upon the Name of the resurrected Lord Jesus.
‘Silence money’ given to the soldiers to keep quiet didn’t have any effect. Having paid the price for redemption by His atoning sacrifice on the Cross, Jesus rose from the dead and triumphantly leads His church. Not just governors’ ears, but everybody must know. Receive the news and pass it on.
