“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 20:18
He is Risen! He is Risen indeed! Alleluia!
Happy Easter, Christ Lutheran! I realize as you first read this, we are a few weeks away from Easter Sunday. It has felt like a very long wait for Easter, hasn’t it? It always feels so strange to me when Easter is this late in the year. I get impatient because I want to celebrate. The season of Lent is so meaningful and important, but the joy I feel at Easter is something I long for.
It kind of reminds me of the wait that Mary Magdalene and the disciples had as they sat in their grief for three days—except they had no idea of the joy to come. They waited those three days, feeling everything under the sun. They reflected on their relationship with Jesus, how he had changed them, what he had meant to them, what the world would be like now that he was gone.
And then! Jesus arose from the grave and there was shock and awe and pure joy! And Mary could not hold herself back to let the disciples know what she had seen and the urgency behind this amazing miracle.
“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 20:18
She used her voice to testify to the miracle of the resurrection. She proclaimed the Good News and did not hesitate to do so.
Isn’t this what we are called to do as well? We have this miraculous gift of the resurrection and just like Mary, we too should be using our voices shouting from the rooftops that Jesus is alive and there is hope!
Christ Lutheran, may we use our voices this Easter and always to share the love and hope of Jesus with the world.
He is Risen! He is Risen indeed! Alleluia!
