Title: The Beginning
Text: Mark 15:42-16:8

Notes:

Proofs that Jesus really died:

• The centurion testified to it
• The burial clothes confirm it
• The enclosed tomb affirms it
• The women witnessed it

The gospel has the power to change everything, giving Joseph a courage and boldness he never knew.

Why was the tomb empty?

• Jesus disciples stole the body?
• Jesus’ enemies stole the body?
• The women went to the wrong tomb?
• Jesus did not really die?
• Jesus really rose from the grave!

The resurrection is God’s way of stamping PAID IN FULL across the pages of history.

Only in the gospel of Jesus do people find such enormous hope to live.
