—Mark 16:1-8
by: Kaymian Weekley.
This incredible display of love by these women is a measure of dedication—seeking to honor our master even in death. The shame of the cross had no bearing on their willingness to attend to their duty, driven amidst the complexities of life and death. Earnestly seeking the Master’s body to perform a sacred ritual. No doubt, sadness surrounded them, but they were steadfast in their pursuit to dress His body with sweet perfume and spices. Instead of Jesus, they found an angel giving out an assurance that amazed them—Jesus had risen! In that moment, mankind became aware of God’s awesome sacrifice—sins were absolved and freedom reigned supreme.
