第七天： 空墳墓
Easter, 1982 Ian Grant held an event at the Auckland Town Hall.
A “Youth For Christ rally”, where hundreds of young people gathered.
I was just four years old at the time, but I still remember…
Sitting up there on the balcony with my Mum and my brothers and sister, age 4,6,8,9
(any other Mums out there that keep bringing your little kids along to Christian events? - yeah keep doing that!)
Seeing this powerful visual drama, with music, and lights, and dancers
I was so impacted when I saw this actor hanging on the cross in pain. And something grabbed my heart so deeply when I saw the triumph of the resurrection.
1982 年复活节，伊恩·格兰特 (Ian Grant) 在奥克兰市政厅举办了一场活动。
数百名年轻人聚集在一起的“基督青年集会”。
那时我只有四岁，但我还记得……
和我妈妈还有我的兄弟姐妹，4岁，6岁，8岁，9岁坐在阳台上
（这里还有其他妈妈也是一直带着您的小孩一起参加基督教活动吗？- 好的，请继续这样做！）
观看这震撼人心的视觉盛宴，有音乐、灯光和舞者
当我看到那个演员痛苦地挂在十字架上时，我深受震撼。 当我看到复活的胜利时，有件事深深地抓住了我的心。
I remember hearing Ian Grant speak and give the altar call
…and running down those stairs and down the aisle
Trying to get close to the stage. Pushing past all of the tall old people (who were probably young people, but to the four year old they were old!)
I remember repeating the words of a prayer
As I gave my life to Jesus.
….41 years ago, THIS week.
我记得听伊恩·格兰特 (Ian Grant) 讲话并在圣坛发出呼召
......然后跑下那些楼梯，沿着过道
试图靠近舞台。 推开所有高大的老人（他们可能是年轻人，但对四岁的孩子来说他们已经老了！）
当我把我的生命献给耶稣时
我记得重复祷告的话
……就是41 年前的这个主日。
It’s never too early or too late to give your life to Jesus.
Today, something may be stirring within you already.
At the end of this message, we’ll all be coming toward these table to receive communion. And there will be an opportunity, if you want to give your life to Jesus, for you to do so.
将你的生命献给耶稣永远不会太早或太晚。
今天，某些事情可能已经在你内心激荡。
在本信息结束时，我们都将走向这些桌子接受圣餐。 如果你想把你的生命献给耶稣，你就有机会这样做。
Today as we look at the last part of the book of Mark, the final message in our series.
THE RESURRECTION.
We find ourselves at the TOMB. …a place of questions and faith
Today we’ll be looking at both. Questions and faith.
今天我们来看马可福音的最后一部分，这是我们系列的最后一篇信息。
复活。
我们发现自己在坟墓里。 ......一个充斥着疑问和信心的地方
今天我们将同时研究两者。 疑问和信。
3 SCENES 3幕场景
We’ll look at three scenes in Mark 16, if you could turn there with me on your Bible app…我们将看马可福音 16 章中的三个场景，如果你能打开你收集的圣经应用程序和我一起翻到那里……
SCENE ONE - moving toward the tomb with questions, grief, and spices.
场景一 - 带着疑虑、悲伤和香料走向坟墓。
The story today begins with grief and hopelessness, before we get to the resurrection.
For me in my journey, even though faith began so young,
I also wrestled with questions and doubt, ….which is quite normal for all followers of Jesus
And these doubts can feel like a huge boulder that stands in the way….
Who will roll away the stone?
It’s the question on the lips of three women, as they walk towards the place of the dead.
在我们讲述复活的部分之前， 今天的故事以悲伤和绝望开始，。
对我来说，在我的旅程中，即使我很早开始信仰，
我也与问题和怀疑搏斗，......这对所有耶稣的追随者来说都是很正常的
这些疑虑就像一块挡路的巨石……
那么谁来滚石头？
这是三个女人在走向安放死者的地方时嘴上挂着的问题。
SCENE TWO - inside the tomb with the messenger from God 第二场 -与来自上帝的使者在坟墓里
The question about the stone is already answered. The stone has been rolled away.
We enter into this space with the women and find an angel. A messenger from God
The angel tells us “Jesus is risen!”
But not only that, but the messenger now sends them to be messengers of this good news.
关于石头的问题已经回答了。 石头已经滚开。
我们随着那些女人们一起进入这个空间并找到一个天使。 来自上帝的使者
天使告诉我们“耶稣复活了！”
但不仅如此，使者现在还派她们去传这个好消息。
SCENE THREE - fleeing from the tomb full of fear, shocked and silent场景三 - 从坟墓中逃出，充满恐惧，震惊而哑口无言
Very typical reactions for nearly every person in the bible that encounters an angel.
With the added complexity of grief, uncertainty, concern for their safety.
With a desire to believe, blended with lingering questions and grief.
圣经中几乎每个人遇到天使的典型反应。
随着悲伤、不确定性和对她们安全的担忧的增加，情况变得更加复杂。
带着相信的愿望，夹杂着着挥之不去的问题和悲伤。
This is where the story ends in Marks original gospel
It’s a cliffhanger. To be continued.
The final episode of that Netflix series that has another season coming.
In the other gospels, Matthew, Luke and John, we meet the saviour who is alive again.
But the most reliable original sources and scholars consistently show us that Mark chooses to finish differently. Not because Mark doesn’t believe in the resurrection, no, clearly, the last words spoken in the gospel, by the angel declare that Jesus is alive….
But because Mark wants to leave the response to this message in the hands of the listener.
这是故事在原版马可福音中结束的地方
这是一个悬崖峭壁。 未完待续。
该 Netflix 系列的最后一集即将迎来下一季。
在其他福音书中，马太福音、路加福音和约翰福音，我们遇到了复活的救世主。
但最可靠的原始资料和学者始终如一地向我们表明，马可选择了不同的结局。 不是因为马可不相信复活，不，很明显，天使在福音中所说的最后一句话宣告耶稣还活着……
而是因为马可想把对这个惊天动地的消息的回应留给听众。
“Mark writes for those who never will experience Jesus’ physical presence” (Garland)
“马可为那些永远不会亲身经历耶稣的人写作”（加兰）
As, one commentator puts it. Helpful for us, reading 2000 years later.
We feel like we’re right there with these women, we can identify with their questions and emotion. We’ve heard this amazing message from the angelic messenger.
…and we go walk with the women as they try to piece it all together.
Another commentator, Morna Hooker, describes the intention demonstrated throughout the whole of this gospel. Mark’s desire is “to leave his readers to make the crucial step of faith”.
Like the skilled evangelist these days in an Alpha course setting, who enable that space of curiosity to ask and facilitate great questions.
So what do you think? What do you believe happens?
正如一位评论员所说。 帮助我们在2000 年后阅读。
我们觉得我们就在这些女性身边，我们可以认同她们的问题和情绪。 我们从天使使者那里听到了这个惊人的信息。
......我们和女人们一起步行，因为她们试图将它们拼凑在一起。
另一位评论员 Morna Hooker 描述了贯穿整部福音书的意图。 马可的愿望是“让他的读者迈出信心的关键一步”。就像如今在 Alpha 课程中设置熟练的传道人一样，他们让人们展开好奇并且能够提出并激发出伟大的问题。所以你怎么看？ 你认为会发生什么？
SLIDE: (Picture of the spinning top spinning on the bench in the final scene of Inception)
My reaction幻灯片：（《盗梦空间》最后一幕陀螺在长凳上旋转的图片）我的反应
When I think back to my teenage years, to be honest I really struggled with the way Mark’s gospel ended, and the footnoted section that was added later. It caused me to question, wait, is this part of the Bible or not? Over the centuries, some church leaders have arrived at different conclusions….Some suggest that the codex format meant that maybe the beginning and ending of Mark were lost.It appears that early church leaders tried to draw from other gospels to write the conclusion that we want to hear.Some christians have chosen to accept all of these words as Scripture。While most scholars conclude that Mark intended it to finish with the women leaving the tomb. Like I say, I used to struggle with this….But now, I love it. In my view, it’s the perfect end to this gospel.We haven’t seen the resurrected Jesus, or witnessed the ascension. But we have everything we need to come to our own conclusion.
当我回想起我的少年时代，老实说，我真的很纠结于马可福音的结尾方式，以及后来添加的脚注部分。 这让我质疑，等等，这是圣经的一部分吗？ 几个世纪以来，一些教会领袖得出了不同的结论……有些人认为手抄本格式意味着马可福音的开头和结尾可能丢失了。看来早期教会领袖试图从其他福音书中得出结论，一些基督徒选择接受所有这些话作为圣经。虽然大多数学者得出结论，马可打算以妇女离开坟墓结束。 就像我说的，我曾经为此苦苦挣扎……但现在，我喜欢它。 在我看来，这是福音的完美结局。我们还没有看到复活的耶稣，也没有目睹升天。 但我们拥有得出自己结论所需的一切。
Like that final scene of Inception, we know the spinning top is going to stop.
We are sure it is real. All of the story fits now.
We get to the end of Mark’s gospel. We haven’t met the risen saviour.
But we have everything we need to respond to the good news.
The ending creates curiosity and suspense, that makes us want to continue.
We as the listeners become participants and we must now make a decision for ourselves….
就像《盗梦空间》的最后一幕一样，我们知道旋转的陀螺即将停止。
我们确信它是真实的。 所有的故事都适用于今天。
我们到了马可福音的结尾。 我们还没有遇到复活的救主。
但我们拥有响应好消息所需的一切。
结局创造好奇心和悬念，让我们想继续。
我们作为听众成为参与者，我们现在必须为自己做出决定……。
But let’s go back and look at these THREE SCENES at the tomb in more detail.
Because within these three scenes, there are three moments that we continue to wrestle with as followers of Jesus, that He may be inviting us to respond to today.
但是，让我们回过头来更详细地看看墓中的这三个场景。
因为在这三个场景中，有三个时刻是我们作为耶稣的追随者继续努力应对的，今天祂可能会邀请我们做出回应。
As we continue, I’d love to pray. Holy Spirit would you speak to us. Would you minister to all who are here today? May they hear the words that you want to speak into their hearts.
当我们继续时，我很乐意祷告。 求圣灵，你对我们说话。 你愿意为今天在场的所有人做工吗？ 愿他们听到你想对他们说的话。
SCENE ONE...moving toward the tomb 场景一…向坟墓走去
SLIDE: Mark 16:1-3 NIV (ideally all three verses) 幻灯片：马可16：1-3 NIV （最好是所有三节内容）
They’re all ready. They have what they need.Those special spices and perfumes. The ones they’ve just bought.The substances used in their culture as a way to preserve and honour the deceased.But personally, I’m wondering if it’s going to do much good. Putting perfume on the perishing corpse? Trying to smother the stench of death with spices?It might work ….but for how long? Easter Sunday begins with loss. Grief. Uncertainty. Hope that has died ….and a need to cover up what stinks with spices.Do you mind if we linger here for a little bit? Because I think that God wants to speak to us in THIS place.
他们都准备好了。 他们有他们需要的东西。那些特殊的香料和香水。 他们刚买的那些。他们的文化中使用的东西作为保护和纪念死者的一种方式。但就个人而言，我想知道它是否会有很大好处。 在腐烂的尸体上喷香水？ 试图用香料来掩盖死亡的恶臭？它可能有效……但能持续多久？ 复活节周日从亏损开始。 悲伤。 不确定。 盼望已经熄灭……需要用香料掩盖臭味。你介意我们在这里逗留一会儿吗？ 因为我认为上帝想在这个地方对我们说话。
I don’t know the story of how your day began today…. 我不知道你今天的一天是如何开始的……
For those who are hurting right now.For those who might even be wondering today, is my faith even still alive?For those who’ve experienced deep losses in recent years.Do you mind if we allow God to speak to us in the middle of that journey toward the tomb, for just a bit longer.Of course we’re going to get to the resurrection in a minute and celebrate that.
对于那些现在正深受受伤的人。对于那些至今还可能摇摆不定的人，我的信仰还活着吗？对于那些近年来经历过深切损失的人。你介意我们让上帝在中间对我们说话吗？让去坟墓的旅程，稍微长一点。当然，我们将在一分钟内抵达复活的部分并庆祝它。
Childhood童年
I remember when I was a kid, reading the Easter story in a Bible with pictures. As young as I can remember, I was so drawn in to the story of the cross.I didn’t like reading it. I hated what they did to Jesus. But I was captivated by the power of all that he chose to sacrifice for me. But I remember, I could never read half of the story. I HAD to keep reading until I got the resurrection. I DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE JESUS DEAD.But you see now that I’m older, I’m so grateful that our Bible includes the pain in between.
我记得当我还是个孩子的时候，读一本带图片的圣经中的复活节故事。 在我记事的时候，我就被十字架的故事深深吸引了。我不喜欢读它。 我讨厌他们对耶稣所做的事。 但我被祂选择为我牺牲的力量所吸引。 然而我记得，我从来没有读超过一半的故事。 我必须继续跳读到我看到复活。 我不想让耶稣死去。但你现在看到我年纪大了，我很感谢圣经包含了那期间的痛苦。
The gap between之间的差别
There’s some time between Friday and Sunday. Some time when Jesus was dead!
Some time where disciples waited and wondered and wept.
周五和周日之间有一段时间。 这段时间耶稣死了！
这段时间，门徒们等待、疑惑和哭泣。
SLIDE: Who will roll the stone away? 幻灯片： 谁来滚动石头？
One day there are miracles!…but for the disciples, and for some here in the room…where is the miracle we wanted to see on Friday? One day Jesus IMMANUEL - GOD - IS - WITH - US!….and then on Satuday, He wasn’t! God where have you gone?One day the greatest friend and leader and teacher. He has all the answers!…but in the darkness of Sunday morning the answers are evaporating. …and now there are just more questions.Some of you have questions. Maybe you’ve got questions about things that have happened, and why God seemed distant.Maybe you’ve got questions about the bible. Some of it feels hard to stomach. You feel like you have to sanitise the story, putting perfume on dead pages to make it seem palatable.Maybe you’re exhausted with the emotion of all that has happened in the last 3 years.Maybe you even feel like the faith that was once the passion of your life, is laying …dead. 总有一天会出现奇迹！……但是对于门徒们，对于在这里的一些人……我们想在星期五看到的奇迹在哪里？一天耶稣是以马内利 - 上帝 - 与 - 我们同在！......然后在星期六 ，他又不是了！ 上帝，你去哪儿了？一天，你是最伟大的朋友、领袖和老师。 祂是所有的答案！......然而在周日早晨的黑暗中，这答案却在蒸发。 ......现在有更多的问题。你们中的一些人有问题。 也许你对发生的事情有疑问，为什么上帝似乎很遥远。也许你对圣经有疑问。 有些感觉难以忍受。 你觉得你必须净化这个故事，在描述死亡的那些篇幅上喷点香水，让它看起来朗朗上口。也许你对过去 3 年发生的所有事情感到筋疲力尽。也许你甚至觉得曾经的信仰 你生命中的激情，正在……死去。
Personal story - flat tyre 关于我们自己 – 爆胎
Friends, the word of God, I believe, allows us to sit within the Saturday. To carry our questions and emotions with those disciples toward dead places.There is space for us in Scripture to smell the spices that we thought we’d need to use to disguise the damage of a dead faith. 朋友们，我相信上帝的话能让我们在星期六坐下来。 将我们的问题和情绪与那些门徒一起带到死角。圣经中有让我们能够闻到需要用来掩饰死掉的信心的的香料。
As I was praying about this service, I sensed that for some in the room, this is the part God wants to minister to within you. As we take communion later, for some, part of the response will be to find a safe place in God where you can come as you are, including the pain and doubts and questions. To allow the Holy Spirit to minister to the grief and loss that you’ve experienced, and the uncertainty that has surfaced. 当我为这项服侍祷告时，我感觉到对于这里的一些人来说，这就是上帝想要在你里面做工的部分。 当我们稍后领圣餐时，对一些人来说，部分反应将是在上帝里找到一个安全的地方，在那里你可以像你现在来到这里一样，带着你的痛苦、疑惑和问题。 让圣灵帮助你解决你所经历的悲伤和损失，以及浮出水面的不安。
Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?谁来将巨石从坟墓门口滚开？
SLIDE: Mark 16:1-3 (ideally all, or just verse 2-3 here if it doesn’t all fit) 幻灯片：马可福音16：1-3
Can you identify with these women. Can you see the early morning sky just after sunrise? Do you notice the contrast of light with the darkness that covered the land at the cross?
Can you smell these fragrances that are being carried. And we recognise these women. Don’t we? They were here just a few days ago. Just a few verses ago. In chapter 15v40 these same women Mary, Mary and Salome. Mark writes about these same three women, that they were watching from a distance. They saw where the body was laid, and they also witnessed one of the greatest declarations in the Word of God……we’ll come back to that in a moment…你能认同这些女人吗？ 你能看到日出后的清晨天空吗？ 你注意到在十字架上覆盖大地的光与暗的对比了吗？你能闻到香气四溢吗？ 我们认识这些女人。 不是吗？ 他们几天前才来过这里。 就在几节之前。 在第 15章40节中，同样是这些女人玛丽亚、玛丽亚和撒罗米。 马可写到这三个女人，她们从远处看着。 她们看到了尸体安放的地方，她们还目睹了上帝圣言中最伟大的宣告之一……我们稍后会回过头来……
SCENE TWO…. inside the tomb with the messenger 场景二…与使者在坟墓中
SLIDE: Mark 16:4-5 幻灯片：马可福音 16：4-5
Who will roll the stone away? 谁来滚动巨石？
Well it turns out that we don’t have to! The stone has already been moved! We step INSIDE this place that housed death, and find a new hope.An angel with a message. 好吧，事实证明我们不必这样做！ 石头已经搬走了！ 我们走进这个容纳死亡的地方，找到新的盼望。一个带来讯息的天使。
SLIDE: Mark 16:6-7 幻灯片 马可福音16：6-7
Marks gospel began with a messenger announcing what God is doing (John the Baptist 1:2-8). It concludes with a messenger declaring what God has done.The last spoken words of Mark…. You’re looking for Jesus. He is risen!…He’s not here though……wait a minute where is He?You will have noticed in Marks gospel, that Jesus is always on the move. Action packed from chapter one. And the resurrection is no different. “He is going ahead of you to Galilee” the angel declares…“Go and tell the disciples and Peter….”Picture this. Grief-filled emotion of dealing with death, …now the shock of seeing an angel. We’ve only JUST found out Jesus is alive, we’re still processing all this,And ALREADY God is calling us to go out and tell others about it! 马可福音以一位使者宣告上帝的作为开始（约翰1:2-8？）。 它以一位使者宣告上帝所做的事作为结尾。马可的最后一句话…… 你们在寻找耶稣。 祂已经复活了！……虽然祂不在这里……等一下祂在哪里？你会在马可福音中注意到，耶稣总是在移动。 第一章中的动作。 复活也不例外。 天使宣布：“祂要在你们之前往加利利去”……“去告诉门徒和彼得……”想象一下。 面对死亡时充满悲伤的情绪，……现在是看到天使的震惊。 我们只是发现耶稣还活着，当我们木讷在这一切时，上帝已经在呼召我们出去告诉别人这个消息！
he good news about Jesus is not just a message to believe, but a calling to go out.
For every person, I believe, Jesus is calling. Not just to believe in Him, but to go and tell others. The movement through Mark is now moving us into mission.As listeners we need to respond…
关于耶稣的好消息不仅是要人相信，而且是一个要传扬出去的呼召。
我相信，对于每一个人，耶稣都在呼召。 不仅要相信祂，还要去告诉别人。 通过马克的运动现在正在将我们带入使命。作为听众，我们需要回应......
SLIDE: Will we go and meet Jesus in the places He is calling us to share our faith? 幻灯片：我们会去耶稣呼召我们分享信仰的地方与祂相遇吗？
Garland makes a few points about this, firstly.“The command to go to Galilee does make one thing clear: Jerusalem is not the center of God’s movement. The disciples’ future lies elsewhere.” I sometimes wonder if the church building has become like our own version of Jerusalem.We want to stay gathering in the familiar place of worship, when Jesus wants to move us out into our neighbourhood. Galilee is the place where discipleship began (for many of these followers), Jesus will regroup with his followers, and send them out as disciplemakers. Garland 对此有几点说明，首先。“去加利利的命令确实表明了一件事：耶路撒冷不是上帝动工的中心。 门徒的未来是在别处。” 有时我想知道教会建筑是否已经变得像我们自己版本的耶路撒冷。我们想继续聚集在熟悉的礼拜场所，而耶稣却想把我们带到我们的社区。加利利是门徒训练开始的地方（对于这些追随者中的许多人而言），耶稣将与祂的追随者重新集结，并将他们作为门徒训练师被派遣出去。
Secondly, to note, that the verb used (proago) means more than just going ahead of his disciples. In other ancient Greek writing this word is used to convey the advancing of troops, or leading an army forward. It’s a strong word.Jesus is going ahead, not wandering ahead for us to catch up. But advancing His kingdom, and is leading His people in His great mission to the ends of the earth. We too, as Jesus people, as people of the resurrection are being called into this movement, outwards, to be proclaimers of this good news from day one. Today, is Jesus calling you to return to the simplicity of the beginning of your faith journey. To discover him again, as the resurrected saviour. And to renew the call to follow Him where He is leading you, into His great mission.We hear this call, this invitation, this sending from this messenger from God….…even while we’re standing inside the tomb.
The call that we thought was dead, is now alive again.
其次，要注意，所使用的动词 (proago) 的意思不仅仅是走在门徒的前面。 在其他古希腊文字中，这个词被用来表示军队的前进，或带领军队前进。 这是一个强有力的词。耶稣在前面，而不是在前面徘徊让我们赶上。 而是推进祂的国度，并带领他的子民完成他的伟大使命，直到地极。我们，作为耶稣的子民，作为复活的子民，也被召唤到这个事工中，向外，成为这个好消息的传扬者 第一天。今天，耶稣呼召你回到信仰之旅开始时的简单状态。 再次发现祂，作为复活的救世主。 并再次呼吁跟随祂去祂带领你的地方，进入祂的伟大使命。我们听到这个呼召，这个邀请，这个来自上帝的使者的传达......即使我们站在坟墓里。
我们认为已经熄灭的呼召，现在又活了过来。
Will we go and meet Jesus in the places He is calling us to share our faith?
我们会去耶稣呼召我们分享信仰的地方与祂相遇吗？
SCENE THREE… fleeing from the tomb第三幕…从坟墓出逃
SLIDE: Mark 16:8 幻灯片：马可福音 16：8
As we follow Mary, Mary and Salome from the tomb….Here’s a moment to reflect on our own fear and our faith; the questions in our heads and on our hearts; our calling and our own silence.These are all very human reactions. Mark seems to want us to sit with this and respond. 当我们跟随玛丽亚、玛丽亚和撒罗米离开坟墓时……现在是反思我们自己的恐惧和信仰的时刻； 我们头脑中和心中的问题； 我们的呼召和我们自己的缄默。这些都是非常人性化的反应。 马可似乎希望我们坐下来回应。
Who will roll the stone away?谁来滚开巨石？
These great big obstacles, doubts, questions and shortcomings…What do you think stands in between you and God right now? Friends can you see that the stone has been rolled away for us! There’s an empty tomb. A faith that is alive. Jesus has done it all already. We now just need to respond. …or to respond again, like Peter.…mentioned specifically by the angel, ‘go and tell the disciples and Peter”，Peter feels like he stuffed up too many times. He probably doesn’t consider himself to be a worthy disciple any more. But God want’s Peter to know and to hear, and Peter will get his opportunity to respond and to be restored.
这些巨大的障碍、疑惑、问题和缺点……你认为现在你和上帝之间有什么障碍？ 朋友们，看到了吗，石头已经给我们滚开了！ 有一座空墓。 一种活着的信。 耶稣已经做了这一切。 我们现在只需要回应。 ……或者像彼得一样再次回应……天使特别提到，‘去告诉门徒和彼得’，彼得觉得自己塞了太多次了。 恐怕他已经不认为自己是一个合格的弟子了。 但上帝希望彼得知道并听到，而彼得将有机会做出回应并得到重塑。
SLIDE: Who do you say I am? 幻灯片： 你说我是谁？
Will there be an echo from the middle of the book of Mark? When Jesus asked Peter, who do you say I am? How will we respond as Jesus asks us the same question today “Who do you say that I am?” It’s our turn to respond now. As we conclude our series in the Mark,
Let’s quickly recap and respond…马可福音中间会有回声吗？ 当耶稣问彼得，你说我是谁？ 当耶稣今天问我们同样的问题“你们说我是谁？”时，我们将如何回应？ 现在轮到我们回应了。 当我们用马可福音结束我们的这一系列时，
让我们快速回顾一下并做出回应……
Recap Gospel of Mark 回顾马可福音
In the opening pages here’s Jesus, coming up out of the water of baptism. The heaven’s RIP open in Mark’s graphic language. Shizo - a tearing.Something is happening. Heaven coming to earth. The kingdom is here. And this voice that identifies Jesus “This is my beloved SON”。Toward the end of the gospel. Jesus is breathing His last breath upon the cross. The veil RIPS apart (the only other time that Mark uses that same word)，Something is happening. The kingdom is here. The way has been made for us to be joined with God again. And this voice identifies Jesus, this time even the centurion, representative of the WORLD recognises, The Centurion declares “Truly this man is the son of God”，These were the scenes that the women in our story seem to have observed. 在开头的几页中，耶稣从洗礼的水中上来。 天堂的安息以马克描述的图形打开。 Shizo - 撕裂。有事正在发生。 天堂降临人间。 天国就在这里。 和这个认出耶稣的声音“这是我的爱子”。走向福音的结尾。 耶稣在十字架上呼出最后一口气。面纱撕裂（The veil RIPS apart） (马可唯一一次使用同一个词)，有事情发生了。 王国就在这里。 已经为我们开辟了道路，使我们可以再次与上帝联合。 而这个声音认出了耶稣，这一次连代表世界的百夫长也认出了，百夫长宣告“这人真是 神的儿子”，这些都是我们故事中的女人似乎已经观察到的场景
And now it’s our turn, as the gospel of Mark concludes. What will you say? How will you respond? 现在轮到我们了，正如马可福音所总结的那样。 你会说些什么？ 你会如何回应？
SLIDE: Communion slide 幻灯片： 圣餐
The Tomb | Mark 15:42 – 16:8 NIV 坟墓|马可福音 15：42-16：8
Mark 15:37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. 38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” 40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome. 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
马可福音 15:37 耶稣大叫一声，就断了气。 38 圣殿的幔子从上到下裂成两半。 39 站在对面的百夫长看见耶稣喊叫[a]断气的情形，便说：“这人真是上帝的儿子！”
40 有些妇女在远处观看，其中有抹大拉的玛丽亚、小雅各和约西的母亲玛丽亚并撒罗米。 41 耶稣在加利利时，她们已经跟随祂、服侍祂了。此外还有好些跟着祂上耶路撒冷的妇女。
The Burial of Jesus 42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.
耶稣的埋葬 42 那天是犹太人的预备日，也就是安息日的前一天。傍晚， 43 亚利马太人约瑟鼓起勇气去见彼拉多，要求领取耶稣的遗体。他是一位德高望重的公会议员，一位等候上帝国降临的人。 44 彼拉多听见耶稣已经死了，十分惊讶，便把百夫长召来问个明白， 45 得知耶稣确实已死，便将耶稣的遗体交给约瑟。46 约瑟把耶稣的遗体取下来，用买来的细麻布裹好，安放在一个在岩壁上凿出的墓穴里，又滚来一块大石头堵住洞口。 47 抹大拉的玛丽亚和约西的母亲玛丽亚都亲眼看到了安葬耶稣的地方。
Jesus has risen. Mark 16: 1 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.
耶稣复活了。
马可福音16：1 过了安息日，抹大拉的玛丽亚、雅各的母亲玛丽亚和撒罗米买了香料，要去抹耶稣的遗体。 2 周日清早，太阳刚刚升起，她们就去坟墓那里。 3 途中她们彼此议论说：“谁能替我们滚开墓口那块大石头呢？” 4 她们抬头一看，那块大石头已经滚到一旁。 5 她们进了坟墓，看见一位身穿洁白长袍的青年坐在右边，吓了一跳。 6 那青年对她们说：“不要害怕，你们要找那位被钉十字架的拿撒勒人耶稣吗？祂已经复活了，不在这里。你们看！这是安放祂的地方。 7 你们快回去，告诉祂的门徒，特别是彼得，‘祂先你们一步去了加利利，你们将在那里见到祂，正如祂以前所说的一样。’”
8 她们从坟墓出来，跑走了，战战兢兢，疑惑不已，什么也没有告诉他人，因为她们很害怕。
