After these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them. (Mark 16:12-13 ESV)
Mary and the other women had come to tell the apostles that they had seen the risen Lord. But to the men it had seemed an old fairytale women tell. But what if other men witnessed the risen Lord. Then would they believe? In brief... no. Skepticism runs deep. It is no respecter of gender, intelligence or any other factor. It boils down to discerning the truth and responding to it. It comes down to recognizing the One who says "I am truth." Will we recognize truth when He is right in front of us?
