If God's gone, so is our hope. But He's not gone. The disciples took time to understand Jesus' resurrection. Today, we're with Mary, John, and Peter after Jesus' crucifixion. They're confused and tired, unsure how to spread the news. Mary didn't recognize Jesus at first. Sometimes, grief blinds us to Jesus' presence. But when Jesus called her name, she saw Him. He calls us personally, too, lifting us from despair. Once tormented by demons, Mary was the first to spread the news of Jesus' resurrection. Her story shows Christ's power to transform broken lives. Like Mary, we can testify to Jesus' power in our lives. It's not about fancy words; it's about Jesus' work in us.
