Summary: The Greatest Story Ever Told

Mark 16:2

And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

Mark 16:3

And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

Mark 16:4

And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

Mark 16:5

And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

Mark 16:6

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

A great story with a great cliff hanger…where was Jesus body?!

The greatest story would go on!

Because the greatest story would live on!!

Arise, My Love Lyrics (Newsong)

Not a word was heard at the tomb that day.

Just shuffling of soldiers feet as they guarded the grave.

One day, two days, three days had past.

Could it be that Jesus breathed his last?

Could it be that his Father had forsaken him?

Turned his back on his son, despising our sin.

Oh hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget it, He’s dead."

Then the Father looked down to his son and he said..

Arise, My love.

Arise, My love.

The grave no longer has a hold on you

No more death sting

No more suffering

Arise...Arise...my love.

The Earth trembled and the tomb began to shake, and like lightening from Heaven

The stone was rolled away.

And this dead man the guards they all stood there in fright

As the power of love displayed its might

And suddenly a melody filled the air

Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere

The words of creation had been longing to hear.

The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear.

Arise, my love.

Arise, my love.

The grave no longer has a hold on you.

No more death sting no more suffering

Arise...arise....

Sin, where are your shackles?

Death, where is your sting?

Hell; has been defeated. The grave will not hold, the king.

Arise, my love.

The greatest story ever told, tells of the greatest thing to have ever taken place!

And, the greatest thing about this story…it the fact that it isn’t a story, or fable…it isn’t fiction but fact!

The greatest story ever told, is the greatest act of love…act of grace and mercy that ever took place!

Jesus Christ, the Son of God…died on the cross!

He took the sin of the world, your sin, my sin…and He bore it in our place…He became sin for us.

And, there as the…

Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

His body was taken from that cross and His body laid in that grave three days dead.

And, on that Easter morning He rose from the dead.

He took back His life having defeated death, having defeated satan, having paid the price of sin in full.

Well, as the greatest story continues, we find there is more to the story…

Mark 16:9

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Mark 16:10

And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
