SUNDAY, April 12 Easter Sunday
John 20:15-16 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?†Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.†Jesus said to her, “Mary!†She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!†(which means teacher).
The meaning of this moment stretches for all eternity. The forever winter of the hammered nails is gone. I have been transported and transformed by a joy that is deeper than the sea and higher than Mount Hermon!
I ran to tell Peter, to tell them all: I have seen the flowers of Golgotha—the blooms of God’s grace and eternal love for us all—our risen Lord!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
