Mark 16:4-8
4. When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back.
5. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6. But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him.
7. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you."
8. So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Today, I want to talk about the message of hope that we find in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The cross of Jesus Christ is not the end, but a new beginning. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a plentiful blessing that we can receive and experience in our lives.
We see the example of three brave women, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome in the Gospel of Mark 16:1. They witnessed Jesus Christ on the cross and experienced great suffering and despair to lost their Lord. Yet, they did not lose hope. They went to the tomb of Jesus Christ, even though they worried about how to roll away the stone of the entrance (Mark 16:4).
When they arrived at the tomb, they found that the stone had already been rolled back, and they encountered a young man who gave them the good news that Jesus Christ had been raised (Mark 16:6). This resurrection of Jesus Christ is a happy and miraculous event that fills us with amazement.
I sincerely hope that we can experience the amazement and miracle of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in our everyday lives. Let us remember that the resurrection is a new beginning and a message of hope for all of us. May we live our lives with this hope and may it inspires us to overcome any suffering or despair that we may face.
In conclusion, let us give thanks for the resurrection of Jesus Christ and for the hope that it brings to our lives. May we always keep this message of hope in our hearts and share it with others. Amen.
