GLIMPSES OF THE GREAT GOD: DAY TWENTY ONE

"Then the disciples went back to their home,

but Mary stood outside the tomb crying.

As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white seated where Jesus’ body had been,

one at the head and the other at the foot.

They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “

They have taken away my Lord,” she said,

“and I don’t know where they have put Him.”

At this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

“Woman,” He said, “why are you crying?

Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking He was the gardener she said,

“Sir, if you have carried Him away,

tell me where you have put Him, and I will get Him.”

Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned towards Him and cried out in Aramaic, 'Rabboni!'”

(which means Teacher).

John 20:10-16

Can you imagine this moment! Mary’s eyes are swollen with crying. She does not recognise Jesus. She pours out her grief to the “gardener” and then hears one word, “Mary!” and her world turns the right way up again.
