    Easter: On Being Afraid

    Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Mar 31, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 524 views

    In the Gospel of Mark the Easter story, and the whole Gospel, ends with those closest to Jesus being afraid. Just as Jesus met them in their fear, so too will Jesus meet us.

    "Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid." (Mark 16:8, NIV) When we look at the four accounts of the Resurrection story in the four gospels, we see a common thread running through at least three of the ...read more

    Yes, all of these are examples of Ratteling in the bible. However none of them can compare to the RATTEL OF THAT FIRST FIRST EASTER!!!!!!!!

    INTRODUCTION: Our Bibles are filled with statements about the sound of ratteling. We are told in Jer 47:3 about the ratteling of the hooves of war-horses. Eze 37:3 tells of the valley of dry bones and how Ezekiel prophesied over the bones and they began to rattel and come together ...read more

    The great question of the Resurrection is not whether it really happened - it did — and the evidence is overwhelming, so that’s not the question. Instead, the great question of the resurrection is - now what?

    TITLE: EASTER, THE GOSPEL OF HOPE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 One of the great disparities between the first Easter and our Easter today is that today Easter has become that time when we as Christians at least appear to have everything together — and that’s not a bad thing - this is just part of ...read more

In the past Easter services, I have responded to some theories that deny Jesus's resurrection, like the Fainting Theory, which states that actually, Jesus was not dead yet, but they thought he did; the ...read more
