Death and Resurrection (Mark 15:21–16:20) – Lesson 23

In this season finale of Lamp Lighters, Lynn Adams, Meredith Weatherby, and Laura Tuma conclude their yearlong journey through the Gospel of Mark by exploring the death and resurrection of Jesus in Mark 15:21–16:20. The conversation reflects on the crucifixion, the courage of unexpected disciples like Simon of Cyrene and Joseph of Arimathea, and the profound meaning of the empty tomb. The hosts also discuss the testimony of the women, the disciples’ struggle to believe the resurrection, and Jesus’ final commissioning of His followers. As the study of Mark comes to a close, this episode returns to the central truth of the Christian faith: the cross, the empty tomb, and the call for every believer to bear witness to the risen Christ.
