JESUS IS RISEN

Mark 16:1-20

Key Verses 15-16

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Read verses 1-3. Who went to Jesus' tomb? Why? Did they think Jesus was dead or alive?  

Read verses 4-6. What did they see at the tomb site? Why were they alarmed? What did the young man tell them about Jesus? (6) What does it mean that he is "risen"?

Read verses 7-8. Compare what he tells them in verse 7 with what Jesus says in Mark 14:27-28. What then is significant about the words, "just as he told you," in verse 7? Yet what did the women do? 

Read verses 9-14. Describe Jesus’ first two appearances? What did those who saw him do after seeing him? Yet what was the response? When Jesus later appeared to the Eleven, what did he rebuke them for? What does this tell us about Jesus? 

Read verses 15-16.  What command did Jesus give to his disciples? What does it mean to preach? To whom? What is the good news? What must anyone do to be saved? 

What signs did Jesus give in verses 17-18? Why did he give them?

Read verses 19-20.  Where did Jesus go?  Yet in what respects was he with his disciples when they preached the good news?
