Gospel: Mark 14:1-15:47 

Mary arose “early in the morning” to go to Jesus’ tomb.
This image of a new day speaks to us of a new beginning, new opportunities.
Early morning speaks to us of the freshness of new life.
By contrast, this gospel uses the word “tomb” seven times, speaking to us about the seeming finality of Jesus’ death.
By even greater contrast, the gospel ends with the Scripture certainty that Jesus “had to rise from the dead.”
Death is overcome.
Death has no victory.
God is the Lord of life.
Easter celebrates a new beginning, our certainty of new life.
May we choose that Life.
