Look and Do

 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” (Mark 16)
Each Gospel writer has his unique way of presenting the life of Christ. Mark tends to be more concise and compelling: "Look at the evidence and do something.  See the place, go, and tell."   He also is straight-to-the-point about the the promise involved: "There you will see Him." Jesus had a record: a record of being dependable; they knew He would keep His promise; they just had to be reminded of it.  The disciples did as told, and because they have done so, we have heard.  We should do no less.
