Psalm 118: 1-2, 14-24 God is my strength and my song
John 20:1-18 Mary Magdalene and Peter find the empty tomb.
In the resurrection, the divide between life and death is revealed to be one in God’s love. In the resurrection, the divide between Jesus’ ministry and our own is revealed to be one through the Spirit’s power. Let us celebrate this amazing news: that we are one in Christ and all made new by his life, ministry, death and resurrection.
Jesus was recognized by calling out Mary’s true name.
Mary saw herself truly in his eyes.
Go now and seek to ask people their true names and tell them of the Good News!
Go now and risk to tell someone your true name and experience Christ!
