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:

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!
