Joseph of Arimathea buries Jesus’ body
Pilate surprised
The Empty Tomb vs. 1-8
The Empty Tomb vs. 1-8
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large.
Sabbath is from Sundown on Friday till Sundown on Saturday
The women headed to the tomb at first sunlight Sunday morning
It was Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome
Jesus had a group of women who followed him during his ministry
They were going to prepare his body
They didn’t bury people in the grown
They would wrap them in linen and cover the body in Myrrh until it decomposed
Then they would gather the bones and put them in a box called an ossuary
Since they didn’t have time to properly bury Jesus because Sabbath was starting they were coming the first opportunity they had
As they traveled to the tomb they were discussing how they would roll away the stone
God already had that taken care of
And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
There was more to this than Mark lets us know
The pharisees came to Pilate and asked him to make the tomb secure
Pilate gave time soldiers to guard the tomb and they sealed the stone
There was no way that these women could’ve overcome the guards or move a stone that had been cemented shut
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.
Yet the tomb was not only open it was empty
Its important to know that the tomb wasn’t opened to let Jesus out, but to show the people that Jesus had been resurrected
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
He is Risen

And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.
An angel is sitting where Jesus’ body used to lay
The women were alarmed
Who wouldn’t be?
Jesus’ body was gone and there was an angel sitting there
The angel calms their fears
You seek Jesus but he is not here
The angel painted the contrast between what Jesus was and what He is.
He was crucified, beyond all doubt – that means He was dead.
Now, He is risen – not only resuscitated, but resurrected.
We should also say that Jesus still is risen.
He ascended into heaven and continues to reign as resurrected man, still fully man and fully God.
When we see the place where they laid Him is now empty, we see that the Father did not forsake Jesus.
When we see the place where they laid Him is now empty, we see that death is conquered.
When we see the place where they laid Him is now empty, we see that we have a living friend in Jesus.
The resurrection means that Jesus was declared to be the Son of God
The resurrection means that we have assurance of our own resurrection
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
The resurrection means that we have victory over death
Anyone who believes Jesus is saved from hell
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
The ladies fled the tomb trembling
The Doubting Disciples vs. 9-14

Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.
