to live no longer for ourselves
but for Him
who died for us
and rose again."
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
the morning
the evening
the living
in between
"the eyes of Mary Magdalene were upon Him as He died
and her eyes were the first to see Him when He was risen...
not the priests and rulers
or even the apostles
but Mary
a lowly unlikely woman...
with a disturbed past
whatever kind of bondage she had suffered
mental illness
sin
physical affliction
it did not disqualify her
and neither are we disqualified
by past sins
or current disabilities
Jesus came for just this reason
to deliver us from our sins and to fill us
with the dignity of chosen and beloved children of God
He calls us each by name to share eternal life with Him
and He transforms us through the Holy Spirit so that
we can be witnesses to his resurrection"
from today's Word Among Us meditation
