Return , John 20:10-16 (The Passion Translation), “Puzzled, Peter and the other disciple then left and went back to their homes. Mary arrived back at the tomb, broken and sobbing. She stooped to peer inside, and through her tears she saw two angels in dazzling white robes, sitting where Jesus’ body had been laid—one at the head and one at the feet! “Dear woman, why are you crying?” they asked. Mary answered, “They have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they’ve laid Him.” Then she turned around to leave, and there was Jesus standing in front of her, but she didn’t realize that it was Him! He said to her, “Dear woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” Mary answered, thinking He was only the gardener, “Sir, if you have taken His body somewhere else, tell me, and I will go and . . .” “Mary,” Jesus interrupted her. Turning to face Him, she said, “Rabboni!” (Aramaic for “My teacher!”)

Mary arrived at the tomb and found it empty. So she sent went and got the disciples. They arrived and found the tomb empty, so they went home. But Mary went back a second. That’s when she encountered angels and Jesus! Sometimes we need to return a second time (or maybe even more) before we encounter Jesus in His fullness!

Where are you looking for Jesus? He’s right in front of you!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
