Seeking Jesus Among The Dead
Contributed by Naveen Balakrishnan on Jul 5, 2022 (message contributor)
Summary: Mary is despondent when she goes to the tomb the second time not knowing where the body of Jesus lay and she is confronted by the angels and then by Jesus. Her sorrow turns into joy and then she is given a command to go and share the good news of Jesus' resurrection from the dead.
