"Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and
saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher." John 20:16
Life can be quite overwhelming when we see no future and
are only conscious of bitter sorrow. There are some sorrows that no one else
can share. Mary found it so, and stood weeping at the door of the empty tomb.
If we feel that we have something to cry about, how much more had she, for she
could not find her Lord. In coming to the grave she only expected to find a corpse,
but now even that was gone.
What was it that dried her tears and banished all her
sorrows? What happened? It was just a voice saying "Mary," but it was
his voice and it was her name. After that, nothing seemed to matter. So with
us. When we come to an impasse from which there seems no deliverance, we only have
to hear the Lord’s voice speaking our name, and all is well. There is nothing
more to do than to kneel down and worship him.
