John 20:1-18
John 20.1-18
Jesus Is Alive
"On Sunday morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the
tomb and saw that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.
She ran to Simon Peter and to Jesus' favorite disciple and said, "They
have taken the Lord from the tomb! We don't know where they have put
him."
Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. They ran side by
side, until the other disciple ran faster than Peter and got there
first. He bent over and saw the strips of linen cloth lying inside
the tomb, but he did not go in.
When Simon Peter got there, he went into the tomb and saw the strips
of cloth. He also saw the piece of cloth that had been used to cover
Jesus' face. It was rolled up and in a place by itself. The disciple
who got there first then went into the tomb, and when he saw it, he
believed. At that time Peter and the other disciple did not know that
the Scriptures said Jesus would rise to life. So the two of them went
back to the other disciples.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene stood crying outside the tomb. She was still weeping,
when she stooped down and saw two angels inside. They were dressed in
white and were sitting where Jesus' body had been. One was at the head
and the other was at the foot. The angels asked Mary, "Why are you
crying?"
She answered, "They have taken away my Lord's body! I don't know where
they have put him."
As soon as Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing
there. But she did not know who he was. Jesus asked her, "Why are you
crying? Who are you looking for?"
She thought he was the gardener and said, "Sir, if you have taken his
body away, please tell me, so I can go and get him."
Then Jesus said to her, "Mary!"
She turned and said to him, "Rabboni." The Aramaic word "Rabboni"
means "Teacher."
Jesus told her, "Don't hold on to me! I have not yet gone to the
Father. But tell my disciples that I am going to the one who is my
Father and my God, as well as your Father and your God." Mary
Magdalene then went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord.
She also told them what he had said to her."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for m. Three days later
you resurrected him. I accept that. In invite Jesus Christ into my
heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
