March 28. Read Mark 16. He is Risen!
After telling the disciples, several times over three years, that He will die and rise again, Jesus' work is finally done! Jesus is alive! But the disciples are in hiding. Only the women come to the tomb, carrying burial spices instead of hope. Among them are Mary Magdalene, the ''other'' Mary, and Salome, along with Joanna and some of the other women who have supported Jesus' ministry (Luke 8:3; 24:10). They have come to care for Him one last time, but He is not there. He is risen! This account is also found in Matthew 28:1–8, Luke 24:1–8, and John 20:1.
Reflect: How does Jesus’ resurrection bring hope to the world? Where does the hope of Jesus’ resurrection make a difference in your life?
