Sermon Tone Analysis

(see the UBS Greek text’s critical apparatus—Aland, et al., 1983, p. 189).

This point alone is insufficient to demonstrate the genuineness of a passage, since manuscripts may perpetuate an erroneous reading that crept into the text and then happened to survive in greater numbers than those manuscripts that preserved the original reading.

Nevertheless, the sheer magnitude of the witnesses that support verses 9-20 cannot be summarily dismissed out of hand.

Though rejecting the genuineness of the verses, the Alands offer the following concession that ought to give one pause: “It is true that the longer ending of is found in 99 percent of the Greek manuscripts as well as the rest of the tradition, enjoying over a period of centuries practically an official ecclesiastical sanction as a genuine part of the gospel of Mark” (1987, p. 287, emp.

added).

Such longstanding and widespread acceptance cannot be treated lightly nor dismissed easily.

Mk 16:15-16

It is, at least, possible that the prevalence of manuscript support for the verses is due to their genuineness.

Introduction

What do I want them to know?

We should know that God commands for us to go to all the world and proclaim the Good News.

We must go to the world literally and figuratively.

Figuratively the world is our immediate surroundings and circumstances.

What do I want them to feel?

We should feel Evangelism is our responsibility and that if we don’t do it no one else will.

If no one will do it then living Christian will become more difficult as we refuse to do our responsibility.

What do I want them to do?

We must begin a plan of action corporately and personally.

We can begin both digitally through our social networks.

How many friends do we have collectively?

Repeat/Re-tweet messages and invites to our world.
