Easter Sunday

According to the gospel of Mark, after the women disciples hear the good news of Jesus’ resurrection and are commissioned to go and tell, they utterly fail, leaving in fear and saying nothing to anyone.  That is where Mark leaves the ending of his resurrection story!  What’s up with that ending?

Recently, biblical scholars have begun to change their minds about Mark’s choice for an abrupt ending. They agree that his resurrection story was not a crash landing but a brilliant one. Mark leaves the ending open as an invitation for us to join in and finish writing it. Do you have an unfinished story that awaits resolution?  Resurrection isn’t a conclusion, it’s an invitation.

Come and see.  Come and hear! Christ is risen!  He is risen indeed!  Amen.
