When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices,
so
that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of
the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been
saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the
entrance to the tomb?" When they looked up, they saw that the stone,
which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the
tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the
right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, "Do not be
alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who wascrucified. He has
been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him.
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." So they went out
and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and
they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid. (Mark 16:1-8) HT: Lay Ministry
Scriptures teach consistently that faith comes through the proclamation of the gospel, not through good works. Christ himself was not arrested and arraigned because he was trying to restore family values or feed the poor...The mounting ire of the religious leaders toward Jesus coalesced around him making himself equal with God and forgiving sins in his own person, directly, over against the temple and its sacrificial system.
