Evening: Psalm 47, 48; Mark 16:1-20
Against the odds, soon after Jesus’s crucifixion and burial, despite their initial fright and flight, the 11 disciples are found telling the very Good News that Life is victorious over death’s power, that Jesus is alive, that they have seen him. Common human custom is to trust reliable witnesses. The early Christian community did. Were they all deluded? Didn’t many of them go on to die themselves for this faith? Was it based solely on an illusion? No, history has trusted their testimony. Surely in them too, contrary to all expectations, Life snuffed out the power of death. Thanks be!
