I Have Seen the Lord

Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her. John 20:18  

I have seen the Lord! What an amazing statement—and imagine the expression on her face as she made this announcement to His disciples, her close friends. She was undoubtedly glowing—like Moses, her face was radiant with the reflection of the glory of the Lord. Scripture doesn’t tell us that—I’ve just imagined that Mary Magdalene’s joy was shining forth as she shared the news that Jesus was alive. Jesus was alive. Resurrected. What does that mean to you? Here at the end of July we don’t often think of Resurrection day—that was in March or April. But we celebrate Jesus resurrection everyday—or should—as we worship Him. He is God. What other god has been “resurrected” from the dead? There are mythological stories of death and resurrected gods, but it seems that Jesus is the only true God that died and lived again. Search that information out for yourself if you still need to be convinced. 

RSVP: Jesus is challenging you today to see Him as the Resurrection and the Life. How will you respond to Him today? 

Prayer ~ Jesus, You claimed, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies…" in John 11:25. I believe in You. I praise You and honor You today. Like Mary Magdalene, I see with all of my heart, soul and mind that You are the risen Lord—You are Lord of my life.
