Mark 16:1-8
Credenda (things to believe):
Jesus is Risen! He is not here. We will see Him. He has gone before us.
Agenda (things to do):
Vs 7: "tell His disciples - and Peter..." Last we heard of Peter, he was weeping bitterly after denying Jesus. Here is a hint of Peter's coming restoration. It is a signal to all who have followed Jesus, and then failed and are deeply remorseful of it, to take heart and go back to Him.
Vs 8: The women "said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid." Here is a negative example: what NOT to do. Don't keep the Good News to yourself because you're afraid how people will respond to the incredible news.
(We'll have to deal with the Mark 16:9-20 issue another time...
