Welcome to Timeless Truth with Pastor Jim Thomas. In season 2, Pastor Jim is leading us in a study of Mark. Today’s passage is Mark 16:1-8
Who is Jesus?
How should we respond to Jesus?
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is:
1. A historical reality
- Medical evidence
- Empty tomb
- Eyewitnesses
- Transformed disciples
- Historic movement
“Easter confronts us with a historical event set in time. We are faced with a story of an empty tomb, of a small group of men and women who were at one stage hiding for their lives and at the next were brave enough to face the full judicial persecution of the Roman Empire and proclaim their belief in a risen Christ.”
A. N. Wilson
2. A relentless grace
“Grace relentlessly pursues, relentlessly forgives, relentlessly transforms, relentlessly restores, all of which we relentlessly need.”
Paul Tripp
3. A message of great news!
“The resurrection of Jesus is the only Christian guide to the question of where history is going.”
N. T. Wright
“This world is a great sculptor’s shop. We are the statues and there is a rumour going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.”
C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
