Resurrection
Mark 16:1-8
Mar 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. Mar 16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. Mar 16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? Mar 16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. Mar 16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. Mar 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. Mar 16:7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. Mar 16:8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid.
As the sun appeared on the horizon, exciting things began to happen. An angel came and rolled away the stone that covered the entrance. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
The keepers of the tomb were scared and ran away to tell the high priest what had happened. Then women came to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus, but when they arrived, the most amazing event of all was declared. They saw the angel and heard his declaration that JESUS WAS ALIVE. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
Alive! The resurrection had happened just as Jesus had told them, but they had not understood what He had said. How could they? No one had ever seen a man rise from the dead. They had been sad thinking that the One they thought was the Messiah was gone. But now, could it be possible? Could Jesus really be alive? But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid.
Yes! The Lord had fulfilled what He promised! He was alive! All of the teachings of the Lord for the past three years had been verified. The Lord God Himself, by the resurrection, declared that Jesus is Lord.
