A Bible Study - The Stories of Easter

Image result for the resurrection according to markDuring this time of social distancing, it's impossible for congregations to gather for worship and for groups to get together to study the Bible. Although it's not a substitute, I'm posting sermons, worship services and studies to help Christians continue to grow in their faith and understanding of God. This is a study I led in 2016 in the weeks before Easter dealing with the resurrection accounts found in Mark, Matthew and Luke. I hope you find it helpful.

During this session, we focused on the resurrection according to Mark, as given below:
And when the Sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint his body. And very early on the first day after the Sabbath they went to the tomb just after sunrise. And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb?” And when they looked up, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was very large. And when they went into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, and he was wearing a white robe. And they were utterly amazed. But he said to them, “Don't be amazed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the one who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. See the place where they lay him. But go and tell his disciples and Peter, that he is going ahead to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” And [the women] fled from the tomb, for they were seized with trembling and bewilderment. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
