BUT MARY... she gets the scoop!


Will Jesus keep His promise to rise from among the dead?...and who will get the scoop?


Here comes Mary of Magdala risking the dark streets, only to find the stone door rolled away... (Jn 20:1-18)     
He’s gone!!...  So Mary RUNS to tell Jesus’ disciples, who come for a look.  John seems to admit they forgot this psalm...

“Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”   


But Mary...  she doesn’t just wander home...  “Woman, why weep?”       She is entrusted with the world’s best news:
Jesus has defeated death!... He is risen from among the dead!... and it’s time to get the message to His Brethren:   

“I ascend unto My Father, and to your Father; and to My God and to your God.”

If John was making this up, why tell this against himself, in favour of an unlikely woman chosen to be the very first Christian evangelist?

How wonderful our God is! Nothing but nothing will stop Him so who better to use but Mary  - a woman who demonstrates her love; who was once under the lordship of Satan but now her Lord is...
Jesus Christ!

  1. This is the first day of the week during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Today is the offering of the First-fruits – the barley is ready to be harvested and God waits to be thanked!
    Just an ordinary working day as some Christians claim?? No way!
