Mark 16

Those who were nearest to Jesus when He died went at their first opportunity to honor His body as it lay entombed.  When they arrived, they found that Jesus had risen from the dead.  This seemed almost unbelievable, until Jesus began appearing to them in physical form over a period of 40 days.  After that, He ascended into heaven having given His followers instructions to declare the good news to everyone.  He is alive today!
