John 20:1-18
-
The great gift of Easter is the revelation of God, of the work we are called to do, the life we are to ignite, and the hope that is in us all.
-
In the visit to the tomb, we see the elements of Easter that are often pushed aside, like the bindness of grief and trust in the witness of others
-
There is something wonderfully humorous in the resurrection story, which reveals so much about what life itself is really about.
-
Recognizing the risen Jesus seems like it should be easy for those who knew him best. So why can’t Mary recognize him…at first?
-
When Mary finally recognizes Jesus after the resurrection, she calls him “Rabbouni,” the title she knows him by — as we might know him.
-
In Mary, we have the epitome of presence, of apprehension and participation. And a vision for what the resurrection means.
