[Acts 2:36-41 and John 20:11-18,336]"Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and then reported what he had told her. [John}
What Mary Magdalen does in this passage is the task of every preacher and not just the ones who get to preach from a pulpit. Not every preacher will get the reaction recounted today in the Acts of the Apostles - "cut to the heart" and asking, "What are we to do?" But we must still try to tell the story and recount what Jesus has done. He is risen! AMEN
