Jesus raised himself from the tomb

Saturday, April 7, 2018

Today we have a gospel from St Mark who gives us the most straightforward of the four gospels.

For instance he tells us the blind man of Jericho was the father of Rufus and Alexander. All of the gospels and epistles speak about the resurrection. And one thing about Mark’s account that I just noticed today is he lets us picture the moment when Jesus rose up out of the tomb, not that he was raised, but he raised himself.
