Night of the Living Dead. World War Z. Resident Evil. The Walking Dead. And… Matthew chapter 27. What do all of these have in common? They all contain zombies. Now, if you don’t believe me that the Bible has some zombies in it, then explain this verse to me. Matthew 27 is about the crucifixion. Now, don’t worry, I’m not about to claim that Jesus was a zombie when He rose from the dead. Jesus had a resurrection body. He was a special situation. But something else happened when Jesus died on the cross; something you’ve probably read several times before but just never looked at too deeply:Matthew 27:52-5352 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. What was that again? When Jesus died on the cross, several other random people walked out of their graves and…and then they’re never heard from again?We’ll read this in-context in just a moment, but the context doesn’t help a whole lot. This is very random, raises some big questions, and is interested in answering none of them. It just moves right along in the passage and never mentions these zombies again.I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. Turn to Matthew 27, and let’s get weird.0:00 - Introduction1:40 - Setting the Scene5:00 - The Details10:15 - Asking the Experts21:45 - The Gospel through ZombiesIf you want to get in touch, my email is weirdstuffinthebible@gmail.comHosted by Luke Taylor
