E19: Afraid and told no one, or did they?

E19: Afraid and told no one, or did they?

In this final chapter of Mark's gospel we hear about the women who go to his tomb on Easter morning. They meet a stranger who gives them instructions to overcome fear and return to the starting point. This sounds like an invitation to a life of courage. We also hear another ending with a different tone and instructions that are more judgemental. What will inspire you as this story ends and becomes intwined with yours?

E18: Being with the Suffering Self

Pilate was amazed by Jesus and so are we as we read the last bit of Mark's gospel. He's accused of crimes he didn't commit and there are layers of betrayal as people are influenced by corrupt political systems. We stay with Jesus all the way to the end when the temple curtain is torn in two and talk about what his death means for humanity.
