The Book of MarkSample

Mark 16 is all about the most incredible event in history—Jesus rising from the dead. One key verse to focus on is Mark 16:6: “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.” This moment is huge because it changes everything. Jesus isn’t just a good teacher or a prophet—He’s the Son of God who conquered death itself.

It might be easy to get caught up in the challenges of everyday life—school stress, friendships, future plans, and so on. But Mark 16 reminds us that because Jesus rose from the dead, we have hope that goes beyond anything we face. His resurrection means that no matter how tough life gets there’s always hope, and we can trust that Jesus has the power to overcome any situation. The resurrection also gives us a purpose. In Mark 16:15, Jesus tells His disciples, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” This isn’t just a command for the people back then—it’s for us, too. We get to share the good news that Jesus is alive and that His love can change lives. Imagine how different the world would be if we all took this mission seriously, starting with the people around us at school, in our families, and in our communities.

Questions for today:

How can you apply Mark 16:15 this week? What does that look like for you to go into all the world and share the gospel?

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for defeating death and giving me hope that lasts forever. Help me to remember that You are alive and working in my life every day. Give me the courage to share Your love and the good news of life with others. In Your name I pray, Amen.
