Listen
to the Word "Woman," he
said, "why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?" Thinking he
was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me
where you have put him, and I will get him." Jesus said to her,
"Mary." (John 20:15-16a)

We will spend the week extending our celebration of
Easter, reflecting on some eyewitness accounts of the resurrection of
Jesus. Mary Magdalene was one of the first to see the risen
Lord. She didn't even recognize Him at first - she mistook Him for
a member of the cemetery landscaping crew. But Jesus recognized
her. He called her by name.
Did you know that Jesus knows
your name? At best, there are probably a few hundred people in the
world that you could call by name. But Jesus sees you among the
billions of faces on the planet, and He knows exactly who you are.
He calls you by name.
