Concluding our study of the life of Christ from the NT book of Mark. The Gospel of Mark concludes with frightened women fleeing Jesus' empty tomb. They were frightened; they had just seen an angel who had announced, "Jesus is risen!" But the women said nothing to anyone. ~

Jesus is risen!
Intro: NT books composed to be read aloud
Scripture: Mark 14.32-16.8
Story: Peter recounts Jesus' resurrection
Problem: oldest manuscripts conclude with women saying nothing
Question: why does Mark conclude with no resurrection appearances?
Principle: Mark requires response
Hope: Jesus is risen!
