“Living in Friday……Looking for
Sunday!”“He is risen! He is not here.”Mark 16
It’s Friday...
Easter morning saw the women
followers of Christ coming to
the borrowed tomb
It’s Friday!
Easter is about Walking backfrom Death!
Mark 16:1-8
1 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene,
Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
2 Very early in the morning, on the first
day of the week, they came to the
tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among
themselves, “Who will roll away the
stone…
…from the door of the tomb for us?” 4
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—
for it was very large. 5 And entering the
tomb…
…they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe
sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, “Do
not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth…
…who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place
where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His
disciples—and Peter—that He is going
before you into Galilee…
…there you will see Him, as He said to
you.” 8 So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and
were amazed.
…and they saidnothing to anyone,
for they were afraid.”

The Apostle Paul(The Epistles of Paul)
2 Timothy 1:6-7
“Therefore I remind you to stir up the
gift of God which is in you through the
laying on of my hands.
2 Timothy 1:6-7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power
and of love and of a sound mind.”

John Bunyon(Pilgrim’s Progress)
“Conversion is not the smooth, easy-
going process some men seem to think... It is
wounding work, this breaking of the hearts, but without wounding there is
no saving...
Where there is grafting there will
always be a cutting, the graft
must be let in with a wound; to stick it onto the outside or to tie it on with a string would be of
no use.
Heart must be set to heart and back
to back or there will be no sap from root to branch. And this, I say, must be done
by a wound, by a cut.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (The Cost of Discipleship)
“When Christ calls a man, he bids him come
and die.”

Alexander Solzhenitsyn
(The Gulag Archipelago)
“Bless you prison, bless
you for being in my life. For there, lying
upon the rotting prison straw…
…I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity
as we are made to believe…
…but the maturity of the human soul.”

Martin Luther King (Letter from a
Birmingham Jail)
“The early Christians
rejoiced when they were
deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed.
…In those days the Church was
not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles…
…of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the
mores of society.”
Lookingfor Sunday!
The Promise
John 11:26
“And whoever lives and
believes in Me shall never die.”
Lookingfor Sunday!
The Reality
John 14:1-3
“Let not your hearts be
troubled. Believe in God; believe
also in me.
…In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you
that I go to prepare a place
for you?
…and if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again and will take you to
myself, that where I am you
may be also.
