Resurrection Sunday
Sunday
SCRIPTURE | Mark 16:1-8
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
TODAY’S THOUGHT | The King’s Victory
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
“Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your stone?” (1 Corinthians 15:54-55)
Because Jesus rose from the dead – death is defeated and our physical death is not final (1 Corinthians 15:12-21). Because Jesus rose from the dead:
- The gospel message has resurrection power today
- Our faith is secure today
- Our testimony is truth today
- Our sins are forgiven today and forever more
