Mark 16 announces not just an empty tomb but a crucified King who “has risen” and is going ahead of his fearful followers into a new future. Romans 6 explains what that means for us: everyone united to Jesus is buried with him in death and will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his, already called to “walk in newness of life” now. New creation has begun, death’s dominion broken, our old self crucified—and you are invited to entrust your life and death to Jesus.
