IMITATE THEIR FAITH/MARY MAGDALENE - "I Have Seen the Lord"

 The man who stood before Mary was not a gardener. He had once been a carpenter, then a teacher, and then Mary's beloved Lord. But she did not recognize him, and she began to turn away. Mary could not have imagined 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 had sacrificed. In the thrilling days after his resurrection, he often went unrecognized even by 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 turned around and cried out, uttering the familiar Hebrew word she had no doubt used to address him 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.
