Mark 16:1-8 Resurrection People: Easter Sunday
Excerpt
Our question for today is: what does Jesus’ resurrection have to do with us? In the waters of baptism, we are buried with Christ, but today of all days, you ought to know that there is not fear in such a burial. Because the tomb in which you all were buried, Jesus’ tomb, is empty.
Here’s my paraphrase: Hey you, you resurrection people: look up. Look up at Jesus enthroned in heaven. Let him and his victory be the longing of your heart and the light of your steps. In Christ, you’ve already dealt with this tomb-world and there’s nothing for you here: in fact, you’re already dead and so this world has no power over you.
