The Great Commission has to be done

Matthew 28:1-28
The Great Commission:All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men, for there was a violent earthquake and an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb.
The women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid"
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
Why?
Jesus has raise as he said, 2 Mary afraid yet filled with joy for they believe it but the feature let them afraid.
Jesus and angle said the same word: " Do not be afraid", Jesus give us the peace.
The priest and Pharisees were not believed Son of God, even Jesus has raise, they still make a deceive story. Harden their heart.
Jesus tough 11 disciples then this disciples received the great Commission to preach the gospel. Good news is not exclusive, the gospel is universal.
The guards are bribed to lie, to say the tomb is empty because Jesus' fellowers stole the body while they slept. The penalty for falling asleep on duty was death, but perhaps Pilate too could be squared with a bribe.
How?
I believed Jesus is resurrection, and I experience the witness from The Load and Jesus, No Doubt.
More important is the commission from Jesus, this good news is universal, let all nations and all tribes hear it. The mission of disciples is go and make disciples all nations, teach them, baptize them in The Load, Son of God and Holy Spirit. So am I.
