The Shadow And Light Of The Graveyard Series

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Apr 4, 2012

Reflecting on Mary Magdalene’s visit to the tomb, we see her sorrow turn to joy upon seeing the risen Christ.

April 8, 2012 John 20:10-18 Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying.

Tears At The Tomb Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

John makes Mary the first to see the risen Christ, and the first to have her tears of grief wiped away by the reality of the resurrection.

It I had a dollar for every tear shed by men and women if the Bible, I would be a wealthy man, for the Bible is a book soaked with the tears of the saints. The weeping of the wicked and the sobs of sinners added to the tears of the saints makes a salty sea of liquid. Not only was Jesus a man of ...read more

The Journey To Emmaus

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024

The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more
