The man who stood before Mary was not a gardner, he had once been a carpenter theh a teacher and then Mary's beloeved Lord. But she did not recognize him, and she began to turn away. Mary could not have imaginined the truth: Jesus had been raised to life as a mighty spirit . As such, he materialized in human form, but not in the body he had sacrificed. In the thrilling days after his resurrection, he often wen unrecognized even those who knew him well. - Luke 24:13-16; JOHN 21:4.
How did Jesus let Mary know who he was? It was the way he uttered a single word: "Mary!" she spun around and cried out, uttering familiar Hebrew word she had no doubt used to address him from countless times-"Rabboni!" It was her beloved 'Teacher! Joy flooded through her. She took hold of him and did not want to let go. - JOHN 20:16.
Next time: IMIATE THEIR FAITH/MARY MAGDALENE ="I HAVE SEEN THE LORD!"
