Overcoming Death: Embracing the Resurrection in Troubling Times

In Mark 16 and John 20, we explore the contrasting responses of Mary Magdalene, the women, and the disciples as they grapple with grief and despair after Jesus' crucifixion. Despite their focus on death, the message of resurrection offers hope. Jesus reassures us not to be afraid in times of trouble, emphasizing that He has overcome the world (John 16:33). Romans 8:11 inspires us to believe in the life-giving Spirit within us, raising us from despair to a new and vibrant life. Embrace grace and practice resurrection daily.

  1. THAT GLORIOUS OVERCOMING…

  2. Why in Mark 16, Mary Madeleine and the other women focus on searching for a dead body and anointing a dead savior (Mark 16:1-1). And in John 20, Thomas and the other disciples focus on grieving a dead cause and huddling behind dead-locked doors (John 20:19).

  3. “Do not be afraid…” (Matthew 28:10).

  4. “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”(John 16:33).

  5. “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised…Jesus from the dead will also give [you] life…”(Romans 8:11, ESV) raising you up, as well.

  6. Believe: God Never Allows More Than We Can Handle.

  7. “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed – perplexed, but not in despair…So then death is at work in us, but life is at work in [us, as well]…Because…the one who raised…Jesus from the dead will also raise us…” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9; 12; 14).

  8. Allow Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness, To ‘Take Root,’ Deep.

  9. “….all this [that is, the message, spirit, and meaning of resurrection] is for our benefit, so that…grace… [may reach] more and more people…” (2 Corinthians 4:15

  10. “…There is no condemnation [no disgrace, guilt, blame]… [if we] are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit of life [has] set me free, [lifted me out of the old vicious circle] of sin and death.” (Romans 8:1-2) – wiping the slate of my messy, jumbled life – clean!

  11. ‘Practice Resurrection, ‘Apply Resurrection’ To Everything, With Thanksgiving

  12. For ultimately, Paul notes, Resurrection Spirit is to overflow everywhere, touching everything, with thanksgiving “…to the glory of God…”(2 Corinthians 4:15).

  13. “What a God we have!” Peter exclaims in 1 Peter 1, “…Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life, and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven, and [a] future [that] starts now!...” (1 Peter 1:3, The Message).

  14. ‘You have a resurrection coming!’

  15. “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”(John 16:33).

  16. “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised…Jesus from the dead will also give [you] life…”(Romans 8:11, ESV) raising you up, as well.

  17. “What a God we have!...Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life, and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven, and [a] future [that] starts now!...” (1 Peter 1:3, The Message).
