This is Dr. Mitchell giving an introduction to the Spiritual Life Class he taught incoming freshman college classes for many years.

This Spiritual Life Class video is is available for you here.

Dr. Mitchell reviews Mark 16:15-20 in this concluding lesson in the Gospel of Mark.

Here the Lord presents the great commission when He told the disciples to go into the all world and preach the gospel.

Verse 16 has taken to be a scriptural proof of the necessity of baptism in order to be saved.

Anything added to faith in Christ is not Biblical and will not save anyone.

The Lord Jesus was received up into heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father where our Lord Jesus Christ intercedes and prays for those who trust Him.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mark 16:15.

Dr. Mitchell continues in Mark 16 verses 12-15.

Here Dr. Mitchell reviews what happened with the women at the tomb. Also, Mary Magdalene stayed behind and was looking for a dead Christ, but she was met with the Living Lord Jesus Christ.

Then the Lord appeared to two others, who went they recognized Him, reported to the others as well.

Jesus, later, appeared to the 11 disciples.

From 1Cor.15, the apostle Paul records and verifies appearances of the Lord Jesus to believers after His physical resurrection from out of the dead.

There were many and varied witnesses to the risen Christ both public and private and in various locations.

Dr. Mitchell shares a personal experience he had with some headhunters in the Philippines where he had an opportunity to share with them the gospel of our risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mark 16:12 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

We now enter the last chapter of the Gospel of Mark, chapter 16.

Mark writes of 3 women who were early risers and went to the tomb with spices to anoint the body of Jesus.

It then occurred to them that the stone would need to be rolled away.

He tells them to not be afraid. He knew why they were there, but he told them "Jesus is not here, He has risen".

The angel gave them instructions to go and tell the disciples and Peter that they would see Jesus in Galilee.

Here is Dr. Mitchell with the risen Christ, Mark 16:1, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

We continue in Mark 15 verses 38-47. Here our Lord, having died, Mark records that the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom.

Our Lord died crying out with a loud voice, not a weak one. The roman centurion, in seeing and hearing Him, made this confession “Truly, this man was the Son of God”.

Later in this passage, we see Joseph of Arimathea, asking for the body of Jesus in order to bury Jesus in his own new tomb.

This is also recorded in Matthew 27:57-60.

Our Lord’s burial fulfilled Isaiah 53:9 He “was with a rich man in His death..”

In Mark 15:38, here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.
