You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! **motivation

Mark 15:42-16:8

It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached,  Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid. 

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

Why?
Joseph bury the body and wrapped it in linen and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. He is brave to ask the body of Jesus to Pilate. For he believes the kingdom of God will come.

Mary Magdalene and Mary always follow Jesus, even though Jesus is dead they still want to do something for Jesus.

Because they love Jesus so they are the first to know Jesus has risen. Many are not believed, so the chosen are little! It is the grace of the Lord that came upon me so I may become a son of the Lord.

記載少數有信心的猶太人。約瑟、抹大拉的馬利亞和約西的母親馬利亞並撒羅米等耶穌付出，對比馬可逃走和彼得不顧一切否認耶穌。約瑟卻不再暗暗做耶穌門徒，在這最沒有神蹟的時候，勇於出面，可能要面對被逐出猶太群體的風險、可能被抓的代價。他們單純愛主的心並沒有要想得到什麼！

買了香膏要去膏耶穌的身體也要花錢付代價，而且一大早趕快要去看耶穌，非常期待要為主做些事情。我們主日是否有這樣的心去教會見神?可能有羅馬兵丁的攔阻，早起的攔阻，最大的攔阻是大石頭擋在洞口，神卻排除所有的攔阻。也讓人看見耶穌已經復活！只要我們真心願意，我們同樣可以經歷復活的耶穌同在。第一批聽到耶穌誕生的是一群牧人，天使告訴他們，第一批聽到耶穌復活的消息是這群要來見主，服事主的婦人，也是天使告訴他們，雖然她們還沒有見到復活的耶穌。我們來教會是因為耶穌愛我們，而不是因為我要耶穌幫我解決問題！

How?

I believe that Jesus is the son of the Lord, and he has devoted his life to all who trust in Him.
