Read Mark 16:1-8 with your family.

One of the strangest parts of the story of Easter Sunday found in the Gospel of Mark, is that the women ran away when they heard about Jesus being alive again, because they were scared.

In every other gospel the women run to tell people, but in Mark they just run away.

That’s because the Gospel of Mark was written like a Greek play where the audience who first heard the story and those of us today who are hearing it again, are expected to finish the story. We are the ones who are now supposed to tell everyone that Jesus has risen!

Christ has Risen! Christ has risen indeed! Hallelujah!!
