Terror and Amazement

Make Me Like Christ , by kevron2001 Propers: Easter Sunday, Holy Pascha, the Resurrection of Our Lord , AD 2024 B Homily: Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. “So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.” Thus end our oldest manuscripts of the Holy Gospel According to St Mark. Later editors added other endings, incorporating other witnesses, but Mark appears to cut us off right then and there, with an empty tomb, and silence, and fear. At the time when Mark was writing, Christians faced quite the crisis. The first generation of our leadership—James in Jerusalem, Peter amongst the Diaspora, Paul ministering to the Gentiles—all died in a wave of persecution. Shortly thereafter, Jerusalem fell, again, and the Temple of God was destroyed, never to be rebuilt, not for 2000 years.
