from John 20:1-18
Easter Sunday. Resurrection Day. For the church, it all hinges on this one event; this moment in time when Jesus resurrected from the grave. Unlike other historic events that happened once and are commemorated annually, on Easter the church celebrates the fact that the resurrection is still happening and is breaking in to this world all around us.
As we look at Mary’s encounter with Jesus we find with hope that the resurrection of Christ is as important and powerful today as it was almost 2,000 years ago.
