“Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb … Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She
turned toward Him and cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means ‘Teacher’).
Jesus said, ‘Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.
Go instead to My brothers and tell them, “I am ascending to My Father and your
Father, to My God and your God.”’ Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the
news: ‘I have seen the Lord!’ And she told them that He had said these things
to her.” (John 20:11,16-18 NIV)
Mary’s encounter with the risen Jesus on
that first Easter morning shows how His resurrection can give birth to a living
hope in our lives, a living hope that our pools of tears will actually become
opportunities for transformation and growth, a living hope that reminds us that
at the heart of all things stands a resurrection love that will never let us
go.
