Now What? Its Easter morning…
Apr 9th, 2009
It is interesting that later manuscript copyists felt it necessary to take Mark’s version of Easter morning beyond verse 8. Perhaps we share their concerns for the need for nice neat, happy endings. But mark’s gospel invites us to continue the story in fear and amazement – a pretty potent combination of emotions. Mark invites us to finish the gospel, having told how it has begun (Mark 1:1). He has been keen to point out it involves following the way of the cross.
Trembling and bewildered the women went out and fled the tomb. (Mark 16:1-8)
