Faith to preach the resurrected
Jesus to people
|
2
|
|
[ Mark 16:15]
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news
to all creation.
|

Jesus took
all our sins and died on the cross. One of the followers of Jesus, Joseph of
Arimathea, received Jesus' body from Pilate and buried him in a grave
prepared for him.
|
4
|
|
The two
Mary saw that Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. One of the
two was Mary Magdalene, whom Jesus cast out from the seven ghosts. And
another was Mary, the mother of James and Joseph.
|
5
|
|
It was the
dawn of the third day after Jesus was buried in the tomb. Salome, the mother
of James and John, and the two Marys went to the place where Jesus 'grave was
to put the perfume on Jesus' body.
|
6
|
|
When they
arrived at Jesus' grave, the three women were astonished. Because the large
stone that was blocking the grave was moved and the grave was open. The women
rush to the grave.
|
7
|
|
When they
went into the tomb and saw, a young man in white was sitting on the right
side. They were afraid of seeing the man and could not move. Then the man
said to the women, ¡°Do not be frightened, you are looking for Jesus of
Nazareth who died on the cross. He has risen again, not here. Look! here is
where Jesus laid down. Now, you go and speak to Jesus' disciples and Peter.
As he has already told his disciples, Jesus will go before them to Galilee,
where you will see the Lord¡±

|
The women
came out of the grave as if they were running away. They were so scared and
terrified. When they heard the news of Jesus' resurrection that the angel
told them, they could not believe it at first. These women were the first to
hear of the resurrection of Jesus.
|
9
|
|
After that,
the first person to meet the risen Jesus was Mary Magdalene, who was crying
and crying. After she received the grace of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, who always
devoted her life to Jesus, was blessed with the glory of meeting the
resurrected Jesus.
|
10
|
|
Mary
Magdalene met the resurrected Jesus and was glad that she could not express
it. She went to the disciples to talk about the resurrected Jesus whom she
met with joy. Her fears and sorrow were changed to joy after meeting the
resurrected Jesus.
|
11
|
|
The
resurrected Jesus also appeared to two disciples to Emmaus to prove
resurrection. They were weakening faith and giving up on following Jesus and
returning to their homes. Jesus showed himself to them and proved to be
resurrected.
|
12
|
|
The two
disciples who met the risen Jesus experienced a warming heart. They rushed
back to Jerusalem, where the other disciples of Jesus were staying. And they
became testimony to them that Jesus was resurrected.
|
13
|
|
But the
disciples did not believe what they were saying. They did not even believe
when Mary Magdalene said she had seen the resurrected Jesus. They also did
not believe that the two disciples who returned from Emmaus had met the
resurrected Jesus.
|
14
|
|
Jesus
proved that the eleven disciples had gathered together and ate while they
were eating and appeared directly among them to resurrect. Jesus rebuked the
unbelieving disciples who had heard from others that he was resurrected.
|
15
|
|
The
disciples rejoiced in believing that Jesus was resurrected. Jesus gave an
important command to his disciples. ¡°Go through the whole world and preach
the gospel to all people¡±
Jesus told
His disciples to testify of the resurrected Jesus in all the world.
|
16
|
|
He also
promised them.
First, He
who believes in Jesus will be forgiven of sin and will be saved. Second,
those who believe in Jesus will do amazing things. The gospel preached by the
disciples who saw Jesus' resurrection was passed on all over the world.
Because of the gospel they preached, we also believed in Jesus and were
saved.
|
17
|
|
We, who
have come to believe in the resurrected Lord because of the gospel they
preached, should do as many of them as possible to proclaim the resurrection
of Jesus. We must do the work of preaching the resurrected Jesus to those who
still do not believe in the resurrected Jesus.
I hope to
be all of us who preach the resurrected Jesus until the day of His coming.
