“Mary!” Jesus said. She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”).
John 20:16 NLT
Question
Have you just heard about the resurrection…Or have you personally responded to the risen Jesus?
Context
On the first Easter morning, Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. Everything she had hoped for felt lost. Jesus was gone. The dream was over. The future felt empty. And maybe, if we’re honest, we’ve all had moments like that. Easter reminds us of this truth: God does His greatest work in places that look empty. The tomb was empty… but it wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning. He is risen! Jesus is alive.
Truth For The Day
The resurrection is not just something that happened… It is something that still changes lives today.
Application
Maybe today you feel far from God, or tired and worn out, or in need of hope. Let Easter be your reminder that the story is not over. If Jesus can walk out of the grave… He can walk int your situation.
Pray
Lord, I believe You are alive. Thank You for conquering death and giving me hope. Open my eyes to see You clearly. Restore what is broken in my life and help me walk in the new life You offer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
