The traditional Gospel reading for Easter Sunday is John 20:1-18, where Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb early on the first day of the week, while it is still dark.  You know that story.  It’s a good one.  It’s the surprise ending of the greatest story every told.  Mark 16:1-8 also presents the events of the resurrection, but in a much less satisfying way. The ending seems incomplete, unfinished. The women flee the tomb and say nothing to anyone because they were so afraid. The question is why. Why would Mark end his Gospel this way? “I have a theory. If this story is going to be resolved, if it’s ever going to have a happy ending, it will be up to us.”
