Mark 16:1-8
Jesus
Rises From the Dead
( Easter Story
)
16:1
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the
mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that
they might go to anoint Jesus' body.
2
Very early on the first day of the week, just after
sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb
3
and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone
away from the entrance of the tomb?"
4
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone,
which was very large, had been rolled away.
5
As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man
dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side,
and they were alarmed.
6
"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for
Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has
risen! He is not here. See the place where they
laid him.
7
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going
ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him,
just as he told you.' "
8
Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and
fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone,
because they were afraid.

This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to
change the way that we think, and the way that
we live.
Commentary

Christ Rises from the
Dead
There is light
again!!
The lesson in these
Scriptures is that, just as Christ rose and was
resurrected, we shall also be resurrected back to
life.
We now have hope since Jesus
kept His promise to rise on the third day. We can
believe that all His other promises will be
kept.
Keep the faith and make new
disciples!!
HAPPY EASTER!
Love in Christ
