John 20:17 “Jesus said to her, ‘Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, “I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.”'"
I want to encourage you today to look at the events of that resurrection morning from this perspective. God moved Mary into Jesus’ path because He planned to love her in a special way and use her for His glory. He wanted her to see the resurrected Jesus.
Today, God is doing it again in all the lives of those in whom the Son dwells. He will put people in your path so they can see the resurrected Jesus in you! Then they will go and tell the world that Jesus lives and is risen. That’s how the Father builds His kingdom. Mary is the first in a series that won’t end until the last one of the elect of God trusts in the resurrected Christ. That last one might be in your path today. Be ready to love with Jesus.
