Myrrhbearers, Joseph of Aramathea, Nicodemus Mark 15v42 16v8 Orthodox Teaching Sermon

What a lot they risked The men going to the centre of power and the women going whilst it was still dark They went as it was their duty, to correct injustice, in obedience, in love. Their reward The tomb becomes the place of life, of light, of salvation The dark stone sepulchre a place containing heaven They are sent to Galilee, a Godless region to find God. And we We, also, are bound by the resurrection to find the dead body of Christ in the marginalised, the dead, the oppressed, the poor, those who suffer in any way. We must go the the tombs of those who walsk the earth, to their Galilees and bring the Good News into the lives of those who are corrupted by materialism, power, success, hated careers, the oppression of TV, the internet, loneliness and bring them the Light. Christ is risen
