JOHN 20:10-18

Her tears gave expression to the grief, weariness, confusion and worry. The tomb was empty. Who would take his body? Wasn't he humiliated enough in  death? ... What would they do to his body? She looked inside again, but this time she saw angels! She turned and ran into the Creator, Redeemer, resurrected Lord of the universe! This Mary Magdalene, once oppressed by demonic forces, was now the spokesperson of liberating news, "I have seen the Lord!"
