01. The Scene
Early Sunday, still dark. Peter and John saw the empty tomb and went home. But "Mary stood weeping outside the tomb." She didn't have resurrection theology; she just had love. She refused to leave without Him.
"But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb."
02. The Essence
This is the essence of Love: Staying when everyone else leaves. Because she stayed, she was the first to see the Risen Lord and hear her name: "Mary!". Love gains the revelation that intellect misses.
03. My Voice
Do you give up seeking God when you feel nothing? When everyone goes home, do you stay? Love holds us in God's presence even when things look dead. Don't rush away. Those who stay weeping in the garden meet the living Master.
