Dr. Coleman's Commentary - Learn More About Jesus Christ

After the dark day of the cross on Good Friday, Easter Sunday comes with the rising of the Christ from the dead. Jesus became victorious over death so that we could become victorious over sin. Because he died and arose, we can live with him forever. Amen!

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 by Bob Pardue

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.

Hope for Us

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
