This post is coming from Winston-Salem, NC.
The Resurrection
Jesus had told the disciples and his friends that the temple would be torn down and raised again in 3 days. They did not understand this to be his body. So when he did raise from the dead, they were surprised to see the stone rolled away and the messenger there to tell them he was gone and to go tell others. They were scared and unsure what to believe.
The disciples had the proof of Jesus rising right in front of them but they still had a hard time believing. Have you experienced something like this that was just too good to be true that you had a hard time believing even though it was right in front of you?
The Great Commission
Jesus called the disciples just as he calls all of us to go into the world and preach the good news. Whoever believes will be saved. What a great assignment we have!
The disciples also go to witness Jesus being taken up into heaven. What an amazing thing to get to witness.
That concludes the book of Mark. I hope you all enjoyed it and were able to learn some new things and grow in the Lord. I'm looking forward to seeing you all next Saturday. Please let me know if you are going to be able to make it. (look back at the posting a few days ago to comment)
Love you all! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Yes, I can come! Susan
ReplyDeleteIn verse 12 it says "but they didn't recognize him at first because he had changed his appearance." Does anyone know what that means exactly? I don't have a commentary Bible so I am curious about any additional info on this. Why did he change his appearance anyway? Was he testing his disciples?
