Mark 16:1-19 – The Resurrection
- This gives me an awkward question to think about in verse 15.
- “Whoever believes and is baptized”.
- What about those people who have been a Christian a long time and love God but have refused to get baptized?
- Can it really mean that?
- Surely we are justified by faith alone?
- So if we are; does not being baptized tell us something about our faith? Is it the faith Jesus was talking about?
- I know it is not the physical act that makes the difference alone because the thief believes but died before he had a chance to be baptized. I’m sure he would have though.
- Sometimes I think we are all in danger of ignoring key things the Bible tells us because we look around and so many Christians are ignoring those things that we think it must not important.
- A bit like when Jesus came to Israel. They were in for a shock. Would the Christian Church be in for a shock if Jesus suddenly turned up;
- Would I?
- And how serious would the consequences be?
