4/6 - Mark 16
There is an interesting footnote in your bible after verse 8. It should say something about many ancient manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20. Some ancient manuscripts end at verse 8. There are a variety of reasons this could have happened but what I want you to consider is what if the gospel ended at verse 8? What if it ended with woman "trembling and bewildered"? What if it ended with them saying nothing because of their fear?

I cannot imagine how it would be without the end of the story as we know it. I guess it would be a sad world without hope and filled with fear. My question to myself is "Am I sometimes afraid (or just hesitant) of what people will say if I proclaim the Good News?" Of course, as we were reminded in The Hole in our Gospel, just talking about it isn't enough. "Doing" is what counts!
