I think about Jesus' followers today..... we celebrate the risen Lord with an understanding of 2000 years of faith and thinking.
I wonder what they thought.... with Jesus being killed the other day... and all the grief and fear and mourning. To discover that he was not in the tomb and to hear Mary's story of the stranger she spoke with. How confusing it must have been for them all!
What tremendous acts of faith were required for them to continue on believing in Jesus. WE know the miracles that happened in the next 40 days.... but right now THEY didn't. The true nature of the miracle was just beginning to unfold.
I pray that God will keep us in faith and joy, fully appreciative of his gift to us!
May God keep you and bless you on this holy day of remembrance!
Amen :-)
