The resurrection thus is established as a fact of history.

It is the most important event in the life of Christ.

It is the most important event in the history of the world.

It is the most important event in your life and mine, because it is by his resurrection

that we are justified and that we will live forever.

Welcome to Grace to you, the Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur. I'm your host,

Phil Johnson. Today, Good Friday is a day of sorrow for many people as they mourn the shame and unspeakable sufferings Jesus endured at the cross.

And yet what followed his enormous sacrifice is so remarkable, so monumental, only the sinless son of God could accomplish it.

And it's the reason that sorrow and mourning give way to joy.

For an encouraging look at what changed so many lives that first resurrection Sunday,

and what can change yours.

Stay here as we continue John MacArthur's study, the Divine Drama of Redemption.

We come this morning to the, the divine drama of redemption.

We come this morning to the end of the Gospel of Mark.

As we return to the Gospel of Mark, a few comments that might help us establish the setting.

All four gospel writers tell the resurrection story.

As all four tell the story of his crucifixion, all four follow it up with his resurrection.

Each of the writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John bring to bear upon the story unique

elements and features.

The result is a powerful, magnificent blending of all

of these inspired accounts to give us the full revelation on this magnificent historical event.

Nothing is missing.
