No matter what your spiritual beliefs are having faith in and giving your heart to Jesus is a no brainer. He is the ultimate demon slayer, miracle maker and gift from God. Let’s celebrate his ultimate sacrifice for humanity. Thank you to Mary Magdalene for being the feminine witness to this event and sharing it.
Blessings
Happy Easter
I would also like to give thanks to the traditions from my ancestors that brought the Eggs and rabbits for our Easter celebrations!
Easter is a beautiful blend of many traditions.
“Early on that Sunday morning, the third day after Jesus had been crucified, Mary Magdalene went to Jesus’ tomb. She was surprised to see that the massive stone sealing the entrance had been rolled away (John 20:1). When she told Peter and John, they ran to the tomb (John 20:2–4). After investigating, they saw and believed and returned to their homes (John 20:5–10). Mary remained at the tomb, weeping because she didn’t yet understand that Jesus had risen from the dead. She saw two angels and explained that she was weeping because she didn’t know where Jesus’ body had been taken (John 20:11–13). She then saw Jesus but didn’t recognize Him. Thinking He was the gardener, she asked Him where the body had been taken (John 20:14–15). When Jesus called her by name, she recognized Him (John 20:16).
Jesus tells Mary, “Do not cling to me.” He explains to her that He had not yet ascended to the Father. He was still there, and He wasn’t leaving yet. She didn’t need to hang on to Him as if to keep Him from leaving. He had come back from the dead, and He wasn’t yet going to ascend to the Father. He instructed Mary to go to His “brethren,” the other disciples, and tell them that He was going to ascend to the Father (John 20:17). Mary did exactly as instructed (John 20:18)”
