The Resurrection

The Resurrection

All who were loyal to Jesus began to live in fear. Even His enemies, the very ones who put Him to death lived in fear. But theirs was a different kind, they still feared they would lose their power over the people to this Jesus movement. So they requested Pilate to put a guard at the tomb lest His disciples come and steal away the body. Three days later when Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James went to visit the tomb, they were interrupted by an angel who told them it was empty. And as they were running away, they ran into the risen Jesus himself!

Mark 16:6
In yesterday’s reading, we heard how Jesus went to the cross, suffering and dying for our sins. His physical pain was unimaginable, but the pain of rejection by God was far greater, as the Father turned away from the Son on whom the sins of the world had been placed. And yet in that sacrifice, the justice and wrath of God was satisfied so that we do not have to be separated from God. Today we’ll hear as Jesus rises from the tomb to defeat death once and for all.
