I Have Seen The Lord
This Easter message invites us to explore the profound events of Jesus' resurrection through the lens of Mary Magdalene's experience. We journey from the darkness of grief to the light of hope, examining the search for meaning, the clues that lead to faith, and the healing power of Christ's presence. The central scripture, John 20:1-18, reveals how Jesus' resurrection transforms not just Mary, but all of us. We're challenged to consider our own spiritual state: Are we in the dark? What are we truly seeking? The message beautifully illustrates how Jesus meets us in our pain, calling us by name and offering a new perspective on life. As we contemplate Mary's proclamation, 'I have seen the Lord,' we're encouraged to embrace Jesus not just as a teacher, but as Lord of our lives. This Easter, we're reminded that no matter how dark our Friday may seem, Sunday – the promise of resurrection and new life – is always coming.
