Living the Message

Today, Pastor Henry read the Easter story found in John 20:1-18 where we see the different reactions of Mary Magdalene, Peter and John to the empty tomb. Dead bodies don't just move - Mary naturally concluded that someone had taken the body. Later when she was crying near the tomb, the risen Jesus came to her and asked why she was crying. When she recognized Him, she believed He was risen and her outlook changed. Now she knew, as do we when we believe in the Resurrection, that this life here on earth is not all there is to it and death is not final.
