The Resurrection of Jesus Christ A Powerful Message from Mark 16

"Mark 16: The Ultimate Story of Hope and Transformation"

Mark 16 is one of the most exciting and uplifting chapters in the Bible. It tells the story of Jesus Christ's resurrection, which is not only the foundation of Christian faith but also a source of endless hope and inspiration. Let's dive into this incredible narrative and explore how it can encourage us in our daily lives.

The Unexpected Discovery: Early on a Sunday morning, just after the Sabbath, three women – Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome – set out to Jesus' tomb. They were carrying spices to anoint His body, a gesture of love and devotion. As they walked, they worried about who would roll away the massive stone blocking the tomb's entrance. Little did they know, they were in for the surprise of a lifetime!

When they arrived, the stone had already been rolled away. Imagine their astonishment! Stepping inside the tomb, they encountered a young man dressed in a dazzling white robe. He was an angel, and his message was nothing short of miraculous: "He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him." This moment marked the beginning of a new era – one of hope, renewal, and victory over death.

The First Messengers: The angel instructed the women to go and tell the disciples, especially Peter, that Jesus would meet them in Galilee. Overcoming their initial fear and shock, the women became the first to carry the joyous news of the resurrection. This was groundbreaking, as women's testimonies were often undervalued in ancient Jewish culture. Yet, God chose them to be the first messengers of the greatest news ever told, highlighting the inclusive nature of the Gospel.

Encounters with the Risen Christ: Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene. Imagine the joy and wonder she must have felt seeing her beloved Teacher alive again! Despite her enthusiasm, the disciples were skeptical at first. Their grief and doubt clouded their faith, which is something we can all relate to. But Jesus didn't leave them in their disbelief. He appeared to two disciples on the road and then to the Eleven as they were eating. These encounters transformed their doubt into unwavering faith.

The Great Commission: During His appearance to the Eleven, Jesus rebuked them for their lack of faith and then gave them a monumental task: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." He promised that signs would accompany those who believe – they would cast out demons, speak in new tongues, handle snakes safely, and heal the sick. This commission wasn't just for the disciples but for all believers, calling us to share the Good News and live out our faith boldly.

The Ascension and Beyond: After giving these instructions, Jesus ascended into heaven and sat at the right hand of God. The disciples, now empowered by the Holy Spirit and their encounters with the risen Christ, went forth and preached everywhere. Their message was confirmed by miraculous signs, illustrating the power of the resurrection and the transformative impact of faith.

Lessons for Today: Mark 16 is a treasure trove of encouragement and positivity. It reminds us that no matter how dark our circumstances may seem, there is always hope. Jesus' resurrection is proof that death is not the end – it's a new beginning. This chapter also teaches us about the importance of faith and the power of God's inclusive love. By choosing women as the first witnesses and messengers of the resurrection, God showed that everyone has a vital role in His plan.

Reflect and Rejoice: As we reflect on Mark 16, let's rejoice in the resurrection and its implications for our lives. We are called to be modern-day messengers, sharing the hope and joy of the Gospel with those around us. Let's embrace the transformative power of the resurrection, allowing it to strengthen our faith and inspire us to live out our beliefs with courage and conviction.

In conclusion, Mark 16 is not just a historical account; it's a living testament to the power of hope, transformation, and divine love. As we celebrate the resurrection, let's carry its message in our hearts, letting it shine through our actions and words. Jesus has risen, and because of Him, we have the promise of eternal life and the assurance that no matter what we face, hope always prevails.

So... I started the day with a beard, a tie and... some resemblance of looking "legit" for a great buddy's wedding. First, the beard came off for its annual "trimming." The face needs some damn sun once a year. 😎 After a few hours of Nigerian beats, played by the DJ, All bets were off! And... That included my tie and Dry shirt. The wifey and I were feeling the groove. The extra calories, from the Amazing, flavorful food, didn't have a chance against the hypnotizing beats that kept us "bouncing" into the night. Congrats to my Brother Femi and his new, Beautuful Bride; it was an honor to be a part of the festivities. #nigerianwedding #bustamove #sweatymess #nomorebeard #warriorzeroproject #nigerianbeats #beautifulcouple #weddinggram #newbeggings https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ezh1vpCMj/?igshid=11gf2qam04jjp

This report published by Kailash satyarthi foundation:- THE PROBLEM Child sexual abuse and rape is an unprecedented national crisis. Three children are raped and five children are sexually assaulted every hour in India AND The law mandates that the trial of cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act be completed in 1 year and trials in rape cases be completed in 2 months. It requires that child victims be given compensation, mental health and paralegal support to navigate the complex criminal justice system and to continue the fight for justice. However, there is a disconnect between the law and its implementation in cases of child sexual abuse. If no new cases were added in 2019, it would take an average of 8.2 years for trials to be completed for child sexual abuse and rape cases. (NCRB 2019). Most cases of child sexual abuse go unreported. Victims are more often than not silenced by the social stigma, lack of support and the fact that the perpetrator might be known to them and the family, preventing a majority of victims from reporting the crime. Justice is being denied to the child victims of sexual abuse and rape due to the inadequacies of India’s justice delivery system. #wecaresecurityandservis #wecareforyou #child #timeforchange #change#schoollife #schoolmemes #newbegings (at Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNjaA3JjT8X/?igshid=1xkfm9m463v9x

Part1 Part2 Part3

Mikealson’s mansion

‘God, what happened to you?’ Kol joked. Klaus gave him a look that said, ‘to wipe that smile off his face or he will regret that he asked’. Elijah ignored him and sat on the couch. ‘Good, you are back, we are running out of time, do you have it?’ Freya sped into the room asking, before paying attention to her brothers who had blood all over their clothes. ‘No, Freya,-‘ Klaus was more angry with himself for failing to bring what they needed, but before he could say too much, he was cut off by Elijah. ‘We faced some complications. The books were not in the house, and the host turned out to be a werewolf,’ Elijah spoke calm, but the hints of anger were visible on his face. ‘and what we believe was the only person who could have any knowledge as to were the books may be hidden, has no idea who she is and she run off.-‘ Before he could finish he was interrupted by Kol’s clapping ‘Way to go, brothers, you are sent to bring the very thing that can save us, and you not only fail to do so, but you also manage to lose the person that can get it for us. Well done - *clap* - really *clap*’ Klaus breathed heavily staring at Kol ‘Don’t test my temper brother’ he hissed. ‘We will hunt her down.’ Kol smirked. ‘Ye, brother and how are you planning on doing that?’ ‘I have her blood on my sleeve’ answered Elijah ‘Will that be enough to track her down?’ He looked at Freya. ‘It will have to, but how can you be sure it is hers’?’ She questioned. ‘It has a specific scent.’ Elijah explained. ‘If that doesn't work, then- ‘Klaus smirked on his own thought ‘- we will hunt her like a huntsman hunts his pray.’

Your stepfather's place

He paced back and forth in his office, breathing loudly through his nose. He ran his hand through his hair and turned around to face a man that held your sister. ‘I told you to get her out of the town!’ He had a fire in his eyes. ‘Boss, I – ‘The man tried to explain himself, but he was cut off when your stepfather punched him in the face, he spit out a mouth full of blood. ‘I don’t want to hear this pathetic explanation’ The words escaped between his teeth. His back was turned to the man, he opened and closed his fists. You know, Roy,-‘ He spoke to the man still not facing him. He poured a glass of scotch and begun to walk towards the man sipping the drink. ‘I trusted you, I had faith in you, the others warned me you had a soft heart,’ his fist met the man’s face again, this time Roy grinned in pain. Rees breathed out loudly (aka your stepfather) and continued ‘, but I told them that they are wrong.’ Frustration swiped his face. ‘Tell me, how a man that can easily be mistaken for a mountain, is such a softie?’ He kneeled before Roy. ‘What should I do with you. How do I punish you? You lost something that was important, we waited so many years. You see-‘ Rees look to the side and then back to Roy. ‘she was going to lead me to a very powerful book, that my dear, selfish bitch of a wife and her mother alongside her other ancestors, hid away from me.’ Roy was petrified by Rees’s mad voice, he gulped. ‘I, I can make it right I can find her.’ Said Roy, your stepfather clapped his cheek. ‘I know you will’ he said standing up. ‘I give you twenty-four hours, to hunt this bitch and bring me the spell book, and mark my words I want Lilyan unharmed in my arms by midnight tomorrow, and Y/N you can kill her once the job is done, I don’t need her in the way.’ Leaving the room, he turned to Roy, to look at him for the last time with a satisfied smile. ‘Hunt her like the wolf hunts the sheep.’

You stopped in a motel, ten miles away from New Orleans. You couldn’t just go into the town in broad daylight when people were looking for you. You needed a place to think. After all, your ghost mother contacted you from another dimension, or rather you entered another dimension. You just found out that your stepfather is monster ironically quite literally and you needed to find some book, in some old house, oh you’re a witch. Could this world get any weirder?

You were pacing in the room while spiking to yourself. ‘What do I do, think Y/N, think.’ You were fidgeting with your hands; moving in frustration. ‘Think, how do I find this godforsaken house, if I don’t  even remember being there.’ You run both of our hands through your hair. You then sat on a chair, you pressed your back firmly against the seat, tilting your head and resting both of your arms on your eyes. Focus, Y/N. I wish I could speak with mum. But how? Think, how did you see her the first time?’ You shivered at that thought. ‘He knocked me out. So, what, do I beat the f out of myself?  You exclaimed frustrated. ‘Okay, the second time I was exhausted.’ You opened your eyes and narrowed your gaze at nothing in particular. ‘Oh, I’m such an idiot’ You said as you found a solution to your problem or at least one-third of your problem.

‘Alex this is the only way I can contact her.’ You were frustrated with him. ‘You have to be fucking kidding me. Y/N. I. Am. Not. Doing. This.’ He was even more frustrated then you were. ‘Alex-‘ He cut you off. ‘You fucking mad, I am not going to help you kill yourself!’ You couldn’t help but to laugh, you always burst into a laugh when his voice turned to that, that reminded you of a little girl. ‘- Alex, you will not kill me, not technically at least’ You tried to calm him down. ‘Enlighten me. What do you call drowning you in a bathtub? Hm.’ He placed his hand on his hip. ‘You will bring me back after a minute.’ ‘You speak of it as it was nothing, you know. Just a casual day, it’s noting. Just drowning my friend in a fucking bathtub. Oh, what could possibly go wrong?!’ His voice angry and sarcastic. ‘Alex,’ You said very calmly ‘- I can’t do it myself, please I need the answers.’ You looked at him with eyes of a begging puppy, it was a trick he could not resist. ‘You know I hate when you use that expression to manipulate me, but’ He took a deep breath ‘I will help you.’

All smiled up you walked to the bathroom, Alex right behind you not so excited. You actually didn’t know why you were so hyped, you were about to temporary kill yourself. “What could possibly go wrong?”

You were sitting in the bathtub full of water. ‘Alex, you’ll need to hold me under the water.’ You said to him yet again. ‘You don’t have to tell me Y/N I know what to do.’ You smiled at him wickedly. ‘How do you know?’ You tizzed him. ‘Y/N, we are not doing this’ He said seriously.

You took a deep breath, held your nose, shut your eyes and submerged in the water. You then felt Alex��s hands on your shoulders, holding you down as your body fought for the air.

It only lasted a couple of seconds.

In-between

You lifted yourself up gasping for the air. It worked, it really worked. You thought, looking around the familiar place. You stood up and started to walk around calling your mum. ‘Mum, where are you? We need to talk. Mum!’ Tears begin to form in your eyes. ‘I need you’ you whispered into the air, sitting down holding onto your knees.

You sensed her presence, and you immediately twisted around. ‘Mum’ You were relieved. ‘Y/N, what are you doing, you can’t be here if they find you’ Your mum was worried and clearly tensed. ‘Mum, who are you talking about?’ She frowned her brows, run her hands over your shoulders, to your hands. She looked at your hands, and a shy smile appeared, she rubbed her thumb on the ring you were wearing. Unable to look at you she said ‘I can’t believe you still have it, I thought he would take it from you.’ She finally looks at you with sorrow eyes. ’Mum, last time I was here you told me to go to the house but I can’t remember where it is and the spell books, they must be hidden, where do I look?’ You questioned, frustrated. ‘The books were hidden in such way that only you can find them and the house, don’t worry about it the minute you enter the city all that was lost will return, slowly.’ She smiled encouragingly, but you were too overwhelmed by the past events, and you couldn’t hold it any longer, and you just let go, letting the tears wash your face.

‘Hey,’ Your mum said quietly ‘everything is gonna be just fine, believe in you, like I do.’ You lifted your head to look into her eyes, and then you hugged her. It felt like she was taking all the worry away from you.

She pushed you at arm’s length, took a deep breath and said. ‘Now, you need to go back and don’t come back here. This is a dangerous place, if they catch you they will keep you here. Living should not enter this place. Do you understand?’ You nodded “yes” ‘You also need to know that many people will look for these spell book and diaries. They are powerful tools leading to important places, powerful objects and people. You can’t trust anyone.’ You nodded again. ‘One more thing you can’t take Lily with you.’ You looked at her surprised. ‘But-‘ She cut you off. ‘No, Y/N, I know this is difficult, but you will need to send her away with Alex.’ You were shocked, how did she know? But you didn’t ask because she would cut you off anyway. ‘I have been watching over you two, I know everything. I will protect Lily and Alex, but you will need to find the books yourself there is a lot of people after you. Dangerous people and they will not hesitate to hurt Alex or even Lily, just to get those books. You need to separate.’ Tears were strimming down your face once again. ‘Don’t worry honey it will only be a short while. You shrug, feeling a push on your chest. ‘It is Alex he is waking you up. Now, listen to me carefully.’ She gripped your shoulders forcing you to maintain eye contact. ‘The books are powerful, don’t touch them with your bare hands, because their power will be overwhelming. You need to learn and familiarise yourself with your magic. Here take this it will protect you.’ You felt another push.

You sat in the bathtub coughing and heavily breathing in and out. Once your breathing returned to normal, you looked down at your hand in which you were holding a crystal pendant. You recognised the crystal as smoky quartz.

Alex looked at you in confusion. ‘Did it work, did you see her?’ You looked at him, noticing his presence ‘Yes, and you won’t like what it.’

‘Y/N, I can’t take care of her.’ Alex pointed at Lily with frustration, but you knew that there was no negotiating this. ‘Both of you enough. Lily, I know you want to come with me, but it will only be a couple of days. And Alex, you are the only one I can trust with her.’ They both looked at you with begging eyes, and even if you didn’t like the idea of separating, you knew it had to be done. ‘Please, don’t leave me.’ Lily was hysterical she couldn’t catch a breath, crying. So you kneeled down and hugged her tight. ‘I know you don’t like it, I don’t like it either.’ ‘So why can’t I stay with you?’ You took a deep breath to stop yourself from crying. ‘It will be very short, and we will be together in no time’ You hugged her even tighter and kissed her on her cheek, she giggled. You stood up and hugged Alex and whispered into his ear. ‘Take her as far as you can, don’t stop until you know no one will find you, don’t contact me. I will find you.’ You took a deep breath and handed Alex your car keys. Then you hugged Lily again. ‘Safe trip, see you soon, love you.’ You said, and they left replying love you too. You knew this wasn’t going to be a short separation but you couldn't tell them.

When you saw them leave the driveway, you put on your jacket and boots and went to the reception. Hoping there is still a car available to rent.

‘Hi, sorry,’ You caught the attention of an old lady at the reception desk. ‘How may I help you, dear?’ ‘I would like to rent a car.’ ‘You are lucky we have one car left, may I have your ID and driving licence?’ You gave her the document answered a couple of questions, and soon you were holding a pair of car keys. Thank you, bye’ You smiled at the lady and left the building.

You found the car, got in it and drove towards the New Orleans.

What would it take to let go?

What would it take to let go? What if what you have known for years didn’t change from someone living, or someone who has already passed? How would you accept knowing, if a parent hadn’t changed his or her opinion, then what?

So, what would it take? Courage, truth, understanding. Desperate for change, a new life, away from a dysfunctional family.  It takes a lot to change mental and emotional patterns, things we’ve always done. We hang on, we’re afraid to let go.

We need to let go. Anything that has run its course, or served its purpose, we must walk away from. The problem is that we don’t always know how. We know what we know. Yes, the unknown is scarier, the known feels familiar, bizarrely more comforting and we hang on.

We see the truth with our reflection staring back at us, but still we’re reluctant, hesitant to let go of what we know, what we’ve always known. We form attachments. Everything changes when you let go, you unburden yourself; let go, let things be.

A new life brings a sense of relief, a sense of achievement, coming through the other end we’re better for it. A life to live, a life to grow, where you have control and where you get to make your own decisions on how you want to live.
