John 20
We see 2 pictures of love here... Mary was the last one at the Cross and the first one at the tomb.
None of JESUS's disciples really understood the scripture prophesying JESUS will rise again. The disciples went back home - despaired, downcast and disappointed. Mary too felt the same feelings yet she didn't go back home. She was at the tomb wondering where the body was.
Many times we are like Mary. We can identify with Mary. We remember the hurts, the disappointments... But CHRIST has risen ! As Christians we don't have to dwell on the dead things :-)
We don't stand outside dead tombs but in front of the Risen Savior !
JESUS asks Mary two questions - Why are you weeping and who are you seeking ?
Disappointments have a way of blinding us. Of blinding us to the presence of GOD and the possibilities of GOD !
