A surprising request
Mark 15:43 – Joseph of Arimathea
Was Jesus really dead?
1) The centurion did not make a mistake
2) A pretty deadly event
3) A spear hole … water and blood
The tomb is empty
16: 8, “Trembling and bewildered, the women went out fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone because they were afraid.”
Do you believe Jesus rose from the dead?
Stolen body?
Hallucinating?
Spiritual resurrection?
Legend?
The challenge of the empty grave!
