John 20.18 (NIV)
Mary Magdalene went to the
disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had
said these things to her.

We
were rehearing our church Easter drama and the director was trying to get the
actors to portray the proper demeanor for someone who had just seen the risen
Savior. What would that look like, I wondered. How would I act if I saw Jesus
alive, three days after I had watched him die? We usually think we know how we
would react in a situation – until we are faced with it, then we often surprise
ourselves. It can be a moment of truth about our character.
Are
we appropriately impressed with the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection? Wouldn’t it
be great if we felt the same awe and wonder as if we had been there that
morning? How much more effective our witness would be if we could say, “I have
seen the Lord!” with the same breathless joy as Mary Magdalene.
