Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 28:6

"He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." — Matthew 28:6 (ASV)

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.

As he said. A few words, but what a world of meaning! As he said. He always does as he said. He always gives as he said.

He always reveals himself as he said not otherwise. He never fails to fulfill a promise or forgets even the mode of promising; not only does he do what he said, but as he said: He is risen, as he said.

Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

For even the place where he lay is hallowed to you. And, beloved, if there is a place where you have ever had communion with Christ, you will remember it. You might bless the spot of ground where Jesus met with you. Here, tonight, I hope that some of you can see the place where the Lord appeared to you.
