"There was a young new student in seminary whose task for the week was to write a sermon and present it to his class. The entire week he fretted and worried about it.
Class came and he got up and said, "Do you know what I am going to say to you?"
The class responded no and he said, "neither do I! That is all I have this morning, go in peace."
The professor was upset and told him he better be ready for next week. The week went on and the poor student continued to worry and stress about what to say.
When it was time for him to speak, he stood in front of the class and said, "Do you know what I am going to say to you?"
They responded yes and the lad (because the minister was Scottish and that is how she spoke) said "Good, then I don't need to repeat it. That is all I have, go in peace."
The professor was irate and said that he better come prepared next week or he would not be welcome anymore.
Next week came and the lad stood in front of the class and once more said, "Do you know what I am going to say to you?"
Half of the class responded yes, while the other half said no. The lad looked at them and said, "Good, now those that know, go and tell those who do not. That is all I have, go in peace."
The professor looked at the lad and started clapping. He rose and said "Today, the Gospel has been preached."
"He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. Now go and tell the others..." Mark 16
