The Resurrection: Mark 16:1-8
“1) When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. 2) Very early on the first day of the week, they *came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3) They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4) Looking up, they *saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large. 5) Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. 6) And he *said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him. 7) But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’ ” 8) They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.” Mark 16:1-8
Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome went to the tomb with more spices to anoint the body of Jesus.
They were preoccupied with the problem of rolling away the huge stone in front of the tomb. To their surprise, it was already done! Such is the case with many of our problems, God has already taken care of them.
They quickly entered the tomb and were welcomed by an angel dressed in white. He promptly told them their buisness and announced the resurrection of Jesus; “He has risen, He is not here; behold the place where they laid Him.”
He then told them to go and tell The disciples and Peter; “He is going before you to Galilee, there you will see Him, just as He said to you.” And so began a series of post resurrection appearances of Jesus Christ.
According to 1 Corinthians 15:5-8, He appeared to many on multiple occasions. AT one point he appeared to more than five hundred at one time.
Make no mistake, the resurrection is what separates Jesus Christ from every other religious founder and human being that ever lived. He is the resurrection and the life. (John 11:25-26) It was the resurrection that confirmed His claim of Deity. (Romans 1:4) He offers us resurrection life. (Romans 6:4-7)
