Today's Bible reading is the 16th chapter of the Book of Mark. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2016&version=NASB

In this final chapter of Mark's Gospel we read Mark's account of Christ's resurrection. We find "Mary, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome" coming to the tomb early in the morning on that first day of  the week following Christ's death and burial. We read that they had brought spices to anoint Him and that they were concerned about who would roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb for them. When they arrived, the two women found the stone had already been rolled away. Although not recorded in today's text, in Matthew's gospel account we read that an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven and rolled the stone away. Their entrance into the tomb had been provided for but they would not be anointing the body of Jesus. It would not be necessary. When they entered the tomb they find that Jesus is not there. What they do find is a "young man" sitting and wearing a white robe who tells them, "He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him." Each Gospel writer gives varying accounts and details as to the things that occurred that glorious resurrection morning. The most important detail is consistent. Jesus was no longer in the tomb. He was risen, just as He said. Praise the Lord!
