The Easter Ellipsis…
Apr 1, 202400:08:51Tap to summarizeA sermon for Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, offered at the Episcopal Church of the Messiah in Heflin, Alabama.Principal text: Mark 16:1-8“Now what we want at this point is to hear how the women left that tomb and did as they were instructed. We want to hear how they proclaimed the news that Jesus had risen. We want to hear how they encounter the risen Jesus in the garden or on the road.But that is not what the gospel of Mark gives us. Instead we hear that the women did leave the empty tomb—amazed and afraid. They said nothing…As the listener, we are left wondering if the gospel writer lost his train of thought. We are left wondering what was maybe left out. What could this ellipsis mean?” This is a public episode.
