The Triumph of the King | Mark 15:42 - 16:8

After Jesus's death, Joseph of Arimathea requested Jesus's body, took him off the cross and buried him in a tomb. It was getting late on Friday afternoon, so he had to act quickly so that Jesus could be laid in the tomb before the Sabbath began. The disciples scattered, believing that the movement Jesus started was over. On Sunday morning, a few women went to finish properly anointing Jesus's body, only to find that Jesus was no longer in the tomb. The crucified King had risen from the dead! It turns out this wasn't the end of the story, but a new beginning.
