Power – I Lay Down My Life (Mark 16:9-16)

Part three in a series on Power

Mark 16:9-16

9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. 13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.

14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

    An Excellent message and reminder that my life is not my own. I’ve been bought with a price (Jesus) and the blood of those who don’t believe is on my hands when I refuse (ignorantly or consciously) to listen and obey the Spirit’s leading. Thank you for that great reminder!
