Mother Of All Peoples - Mary, First Witness of the Resurrection
Were you there when they rolled the stone away?......
I found myself thinking of Mary this past Sunday, After holding her dead son on Friday, and knowing his words and having an incredible trust in Jesus and the will of God. Why would the mother of God be involved in the reserection?
1. Jesus' Mother followed Jesus. She was mentioned as travelling with him often.
2. She was present at the foot of the cross. She had a great devotion to Jesus.
3. Her faith went beyond the visible physics of the universe, the Annunciation, The miracle of water into wine.
4. Her Love was returned tenfold. She was given a Son in John at the foot of the cross, she was the example of one who does Gods will when Jesus called All who do God's will as my mother, and my brothers and sisters.
5. Jesus did appear to only a few, but the few that would testify to the truth. Mary's life was a testimony to the truth. She was also blessed among women so her hope would not go unrewarded.
Our hearts could not fathom the joy in Mary's Easter encounter. This moment is one captured in the believers heart and not words.
