Mark 16  He is risen!  He is risen indeed!

The two Marys come to the empty tomb and are greeted by an angel.. Mary Magdalene meets Jesus and reports this, but her report is not believed.
Jesus meets the two disciples on the road.. and their report is not believed.
Jesus meets the eleven and they finally believe!

Mark's account leaves out some other details, but leaves us with this important Word from Jesus, "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." ( v16)

 Unbelief - the Greek word is apisteo and also is translated disobey, faithlessness, untrustworthy...  

Believe. Trust. Commit. Be persuaded. Rely on Christ. Entrust your heart, soul, and spiritual well-being to Christ alone.  This is the ONLY way to be saved. The One who was crucified, buried, and resurrected again...  Jesus Christ.. is the only One who can bring us out of death and into life.

Praise and honor and blessing to God the Father and to Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.
