The Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God: Mark 16:1-8 (The Short Ending of Mark)
Channel: Tim Bulkeley

I have always wanted to preach on the short ending of Mark's Gospel. I love the idea that Mark could not quite decide which ending was better, and I (personally) prefer the shorter one. Ending a gospel, especially this gospel "for they were afraid" strikes me as brilliant. For it makes one think!

I'll use this reflection on the short ending of Mark to explore the topic of the fear of God. 

So, hopefully this sermon was doubly unusual:
1. it tackled a major text critical issue head on
2. it deals with a theological theme "the fear of God" which is not popular today 
I'm delighted :) What do you think?
