Mark 16:1-8
The Resurrection

Jesus is alive! How amazing this news from an angel, sitting in front of the tomb where the stone had been rolled away, must have been to these women who loved Jesus and had seen him die. The angel told them not to be alarmed (as they must have been by such a sight), but to tell the disciples. He specifically mentions Peter--perhaps because Peter must have been in great despair, not only because Jesus had died, but he had denied him as Jesus had predicted.

What wonderful news! Because he lives, our deepest pain and hurt can be healed and we can be restored. How amazing it is to serve a risen Savior!
