TRANSCRIPT
The Essential Jesus as
Revealed in the Gospel of Mark
Began in 1985 with 30 New Testament scholars with a purpose of finding the “authentic Jesus”
And the result of their “research” and collaboration? Only 18% of the words of Jesus and 16% of His deeds are authentic.
“The tales of entombment
and resurrection are
latter day wishful
thinking. Instead, Jesus’ corpse went
the way of all abandoned criminals’
bodies: it was probably barely covered
with dirt, vulnerable to the wild dogs
that roamed the wasteland of the
execution grounds.” (Jesus Seminar
co-founder, John Dominic Crossan)
The Tragic Triumph of the Cross
Mark 15:46-47 And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

Today’s Takeaway
Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
The glorious reality of
Easter is that 2000
years ago, Jesus the
Christ, battered,
bloodied, and finally
nailed to a cross on
which he died … is no
longer dead! He was
raised from the dead
by God the Father, God almighty!
Today’s Takeaway
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today’s Takeaway
This victory over sin and death began with a blood soaked cross and ended
with an empty tomb!
