Finally...it has arrived. This day of joy! This celebration of Christ’s resurrection! And so, we cry out together. “He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!” Yet, on Monday morning, if not later on this very same day, we find ourselves still merely human with all of the implications of that reality. We lose those we love, we hurt and are hurt, we experience stress, anxiety and depression. What Good News does Mark have for us at this the final chapter of his Gospel? Well, despite attempts to put a beautiful bow on a happy ending, our friend Mark ends his presentation of Jesus reminding us that we are fully human, but announcing to us that we are also fully His!
