Vintage Jesus: did Jesus rise from the dead?

Mark here begins this chapter with a story of someone that he had known that knew they were going to die. He then takes the story of a young man named Dustin who face death and faced it knowing that he had a better life to come to then taking a look at the facts of Christ dying on the cross. Mark quickly talks about his Christ death was foretold, that Christ himself even foretold about how his own death was to happen, Christ death its’ self, Christ being buried, Christ appearance after his death, the actual events that took place in showing Christ after his death, the creeds that professed that Christ did raise from the dead, showing how then that the believer is to worship the living Christ and Paul taught this in the truths that are in the Gospel. From there Mark shows that the disciples themselves saw this being the center of what they believed and how the church was to love and worship this out in life. Mark ends this chapter with a charge for those who believe in Christ to as well not only believe but live for Christ saying, “nonetheless, many people believe in the historical fact of Jesus’ resurrection but have not become Christians by placing their personal faith in him.”
