Date: Sep. 19, 2019

Passage

Mark 16:1-8

The Resurrection

16:1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

1. An empty tomb (1-5)

The women who followed Jesus loved him very much. The minute the Sabbath was over and the sun rose, they went to visit the tomb of Jesus. They meant to anoint the dead body of Jesus. Their main concern was who would roll the heavy stone away. When they arrived, the stone had been rolled away. The tomb was empty. Jesus was gone, and there was a young man sitting there. It was not what they expected, and they were alarmed.

2. "He has risen! He is not here" (6-8)

The empty tomb was alarming to the women. But the young man told them that Jesus the crucified is Jesus the risen! The power of death could not hold him. He made these fearful women messengers of the gospel of the resurrection and commissioned them to tell Peter and the other disciples.

Prayer: Prayer: Lord, help me to overcome my fear and proclaim the resurrection of Jesus today.

One Word: Jesus has risen
