Happy Easter Sunday, everyone!

A rather heretical WI: Assuming the Gospel of Mark in some way or other represents reality, what if it actually did end at Mark 16:8 with Mary Magdalene and her friends finding an empty tomb and a white-clothed youth telling them that Christ had left the sepulchre and risen up to heaven, with no actual return to Earth?

What sort of Christianity would arise from this theological change? Would it be more easily reconciled with Judaism? Would we see many more false Messiahs than in OTL?
