The empty tomb is only the beginning. If you’re wondering why there’s still so much suffering and pain in the world, it’s because God’s not done yet. When Mark seemingly ends his gospel in an unfinished manner, what he’s actually doing is inviting us to pick up where these women left off and share the good news announced by the messenger at the tomb. The story of what God is doing in and through Jesus isn’t over at the empty tomb. It’s only getting started. Resurrection isn’t a conclusion, it’s an invitation.
