“Jesus appears first to Mary Magdalene and later to the disciples as proof of the resurrection.”

Mark 16:9–14 Easy: Jesus became alive again early on the first day of the week. He appeared first to Mary from Magdala. Jesus had caused seven bad spirits to leave her. She went to the people who had been with Jesus. They were all very sad and they were crying. Mary spoke to them.  She told them that Jesus was alive. And she told them that she had seen him. But they did not believe it. After these things had happened, Jesus appeared to two other disciples. They were walking away from Jerusalem to their village. It seemed to them that Jesus was different.  Those two disciples went and told all the other disciples. But the other disciples did not believe them. After that, Jesus appeared to the 11 apostles while they were eating. He told them that they were wrong not to believe. They should have been ready to believe. People had seen that he was now alive again. But the disciples had not believed them.

Lord Jesus, you rose and revealed yourself to Mary and the disciples; meet us in our doubt, open our eyes to your presence, and give us courage to witness your resurrection. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.
