Bible in a Year:
I have seen the Lord!
According to Jim and Jamie Dutcher, filmmakers known for their knowledge of wolves, when happy, wolves wag their tails and romp about. But after the death of a pack member, they grieve for weeks. They visit the place where the pack member died, showing grief by their drooping tails and mournful howls.
Grief is a powerful emotion weve all experienced, particularly at the death of a loved one or of a treasured hope. Mary Magdalene experienced it. Shed traveled with and helped support Jesus and His disciples (Luke 8:13). But His cruel death on a cross separated them. The only thing left for Mary to do for Jesus was to finish anointing His body for buriala task the Sabbath had interrupted. But imagine how Mary felt when she found not a lifeless, broken body but a living Savior! Though she hadnt at first recognized the man standing before her, when He spoke her name, she knew who He wasJesus! Instantly, grief turned to joy. Mary now had joyful news to share: I have seen the Lord! (John 20:18).
Jesus entered our dark world to bring freedom and life. His resurrection celebrates that He accomplished what He set out to do. Watch the devotional video, Jesus, the Resurrection, to learn more about the joy of a new life in Christ. We too can celebrate His resurrection and share the good news: Hes alive!
About fifteen years ago, I worked with a white girl who was married to a black guy. His dad pastored a church and she told me they referred to it as Resurrection Sunday. She called it a black thing.
Since then I’ve adopted the term. Make smore sense than Easter
He said “I go to prepare a place for you”.
Many Christian churches refer to it as Resurrection Sunday.
Thanks Kathy and a very Blessed Easter to you!
