The resurrection of Christ, Mark 16:1-8
Today we are looking at the last chapter of Mark, particularly the section of scripture in which he records the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The chapter begins early Sunday morning. We ended our message last Sunday speaking of the burial that happened immediately after the crucifixion which was on Friday afternoon. You will remember that Joseph of Arimethea and Nicodemus were in a hurry to bury Jesus’s body because the Sabbath was quickly approaching. The Sabbath was counted by the Jews from sundown on Friday, to sundown on Saturday. We count our days from midnight to midnight.
