Exodus 15 & 16, Matthew 28, Psalm 29
Matthew 28: 12-15 (ESV)
“And when they had assembled with the elders and taken
counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers and said, “Tell
people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we
will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So they took the money and did
as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this
day.”
Verses 12 through 15 from Matthew 28 shows how people have
doubted the resurrection of Christ, even though there were witnesses to the
many miracles that took place before, during, and after Christ died. Reading these
verses makes me think this was probably the first written example of a
disinformation campaign and the original conspiracy theory. The Hebrew priests
were so afraid of the teachings of Christ that they came up with this coverup
story of the resurrection of Christ and created a disinformation campaign so
powerful that it still persists to this day. But no matter how powerful the
coverup, it is testament to the power of Christ that his teachings flourished
and is still going strong to this day.
