HEART LANGUAGE
Mark and Laura Shook
Mary arrived back at the tomb, broken and sobbing. She stooped to peer inside, and through her tears she saw two angels in dazzling white robes, sitting where Jesus’ body had been laid—one at the head and one at the feet!
“Dear woman, why are you crying?” they asked.
Mary answered, “They have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they’ve laid him.”
Then she turned around to leave, and there was Jesus standing in front of her, but she didn’t realize that it was him!
He said to her, “Dear woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”
Mary answered, thinking he was only the gardener, “Sir, if you have taken his body somewhere else, tell me, and I will go and . . .”
“Mary,” Jesus interrupted her.
Turning to face him, she said, “Rabboni!”
John 20:11-16
He took hold of her hand, and said to her, ‘Talitha koum’, which means ‘Time to get up, little girl!’ Mark 5:41
Jesus said, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die forever. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26
