Mark 16

Jesus Has Risen
16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.[a]

[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]

9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. 13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.

14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.


Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman

March 19th Led into a new reaction  

“As it is written: For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” ROMANS 8:36-37
The self-life does not know how to properly relate to environ- ment. It blames circumstances. It blames the wife, the husband, the boss — whomever. But in the verses above, we see how Paul related to his environments. He was living out of another source, and from that source he gathered up all his environments as raw material for the self to be terminated, for the self to be crossed out once again, so that resurrection life could come forth.
An undealt-with self does not properly relate to environment. Rather, it is confused. It is frustrated. It is hurt. It is hoping for a better day. It does everything but deal with the Lord. It does everything but allow itself to be terminated. In its ignorance it does not know how to relate to environment, how to relate in life, or how to relate in the truth. These are all characteristics of an ignorant and undealt-with self, and expose that we are still coming from the wrong place. We do not yet come from life. We do not meet our environments with God’s view. God’s view of our environment is that all day long we are just being led to put to death the practices of the body (Rom. 8:13-14). This means we are being led into a new kind of reaction — led to put to death, led to react with the cross. We are being led into another circumstance for more of the self to surface so that it can be interrupted and terminated. In this way all things are working together for good — for our conformity to Christ (Rom. 8:28-29).
