Introduction
Firefly - a story about a bunch of misfit space cowboys who were smugglers.
What you see though is that unbeknownst to them, one of the items they were contracted to smuggle contained a teenage girl who the government was trying to kill.
This girl changed them.
Through the first season, we see that they turn from mere smugglers to a group of people simply trying to do the right thing and save the girl from the futuristic oppressive galactic government.
This show is one of the biggest upsets in recent sci-fi TV history.
Ended at only one season.
People wanted more.
The internet blew up (okay, a few forums on the internet blew up…).
So they decided to make a movie so that people would feel better about how the tv show ended.
People like a particular kind of resolution to a story.
Especially when specific story genres beg particular endings.
Fairly tails all end with a happier ever after.
Most adventure stories end with the character making a full circle but being changed by their experience.
As we approach our passage today in , we see a similar thing at play.
The other three gospels have fairly similar endings.
After the empty tomb is found, jesus address the disciples with a charge.
We will see today that ’s ending happens to be more like the firefly ending then what one would expect seeing the ending of the other four gospels.
Lets Pray -
Mark 1:
Emphasize the importance of woman witnesses
mark 1
Emphasize the importance of woman witnesses
Emphasize the importance of woman witnesses
anoint - to put spices on to offset the smell - did not expect the resurrection
Mark
Acts of Love don't Always foresee obstacles
Mark
“Rolled” is a passive verb.
thats kinda odd as rolled normally is an active verb.
Thus this is referred as a Divine Passive
THEY WERE AMAZED
“Do not be amazed” — Huh?
He has Risen - Again Passive.
Likely a divine passive again
Disciples werent there - they had fled
THEY WERE AFFRAID
Please turn to the beginning of your bible
End of mark - Affirmed by Clement (D.215), Origin (D.339), Jerome (D.420)
Ends they were afraid.
In fact this is a very appropriate end to mark.
They were afraid and they were amazed verse walkthrough.
But like the TV show Firefly, people eventually wanted additional resolution to the story.
After all, the other three gospels have similar endings.
The don't end with the empty tomb account, they go further to have Jesus addressing the disciples.
They didnt see the perfect ending that mark already had - As quickly as it began, it ended.
