Resurrection Hope
Mark 16:1-8
Pastor Barry Holst
Mark 16:1-8
1. A Picture of Proof. (Mark 16:4-6)
And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back – it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.
• He was the Son of God.
Romans 1:4
• He has power for Eternal Life.
John 11:25-26
Revelation 1:18
1 Corinthians 15:20
• His sacrifice was acceptable.
Acts 13:37-38
1 Corinthians 15:17
2. A Picture of Power. (Mark 16:6)
“Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.
Romans 8:10-11
Galatians 2:20
3. A Picture of His Presence. (Mark 16:7-8)
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you. And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
The Resurrection of Jesus is the basis of our Hope!
Look at the proof and let it anchor your doubts.
Look at the power and let it shatter your fears.
Look to his presence and know you are never alone.
