Theo out looking for gold.
Lost track of where he was and the sun was obstructed by cloud cover.
Found a fence row, one direction would take him to an aboriginal settlement, they other deeper into the outback.
He was wearing light clothing and carrying a metal detector but had no food, water, matches or global positioning system on him.
This was a life and death situation.
Theo followed the fence row for miles only to find it end.
If it had not been for the search parties finding his tracks he would have died in a vast wilderness.
Theo stood at a fence row with a decision to make.

1. What They Had Seen
This is the most important day in history.
We’re here today either because we believe in the resurrection, or because someone else believes it, and invited us along.
But there is nothing in the world that demands consideration like the resurrection of Jesus.
To not make a decision, is a decision in its self.
-Today we stand at a point of decision.
For some of us it’s a first time decision, for others of us it is a renewed commitment.
But the resurrection of Jesus is the most important point of decision in your life.
Max Lucado, in his book Anxious for Nothing, points out that, “Belief always precedes behavior.”
Every internal battle, every struggle with doubt, struggles with how we view other people, is all tied back to a belief.
My worldview, how I understand life, is tied back to my beliefs.
Wrong beliefs about myself, others, and most importantly God, lead to cognitive distortions that effect my life even more than I am aware.

Today you are not unlike Theo Rosmulder at a point of life and death decision.
1.
We can remain in death, shame and guilt, or 2. We can give ourselves to believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and share in his resurrected life.
This is what the entire Christian faith rests on.
1.
Looking for the living among the dead.
1.
What They Had Seen
a. Looking for the dead End of Ch. 15; Jesus’ body was taken, prepared, and placed in a tomb.
(ESV) “Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
They “brought spices that they might anoint him.”
(16:1)
b.
They “brought spices that they might anoint him.”
(16:1)
Joses saw where he was laid.
“Who will roll away the stone?
(3) They are going to grave.
Where they expect a body.
Where they say “goodbye.”
2. What They Experienced Upon Arrival
a.
The stone “...rolled back...” (16:4)
Entering, they found, “A young man sitting on the right side...” (16:5)
From Lukes account we read, (ESV Strong's) “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”....Here we read, “You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified...” STOP!
Up until this point, what mindset have they been under?
What have their minds been fixed on?
“Jesus is dead...” They haven’t remembered the words of Jesus in “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him.
And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

App:
Search for the Risen Jesus.
Point of belief: Search for the risen Jesus.
There is such a thing as someone who is saved, they’ve placed their trust in Jesus, but they still live a life preparing spices, and wondering who will roll that stone away.
I think some people choose not to believe and search for reasons not to.
The truth is, they would rather not have Jesus be alive.
That way their will be no rain on their parade.
But if you’re interested in a life changing relationship with God, if that sounds like something you would actually want, you’re in a good place this morning.
Reach for him.

What Mark Is Driving At

They experience shock.
Response?
“…alarmed...” (5)
a. Mark pays attention to they women’s responses.
“…alarmed...” (5) the angel says, “do not be alarmed...” When they go out from this tomb, “...trembling and astonishment had seized them…they were afraid.”
(8) Mark wants you to feel what they felt.
If he hand’t make these feelings a point, we may be left to believe we would have responded differently.
What brought on the shock?
They where searching for the Jesus who had been crucified and where met with the message that he was alive (6)

2. Mark wants us to wrestle through this.
c.
Widely believed that he didn’t pen this part himself due to the change in language, and it’s absence from key manuscripts.
Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be there, whatever your thought on it, everything told there is supported in other scriptures (picking up serpents and drinking poison not, but God certainly provides protection.)
Shouldn’t be a hang up.
Mark wanted to end abruptly.
