Easter Sunday | John 20:1-23

John 20:1-23

Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb in grief, seeking Jesus—but a dead Jesus. As she weeps, He stands before her, asking the same question heard at His arrest: “Whom do you seek?”

She seeks a body, but finds the risen Lord. In an instant, sorrow turns to joy as Jesus calls her by name. The one who drank the cup of suffering now stands victorious over death. He is not just alive—He is sending His followers into the world. “As the Father sent me, so I send you.”

Whom do you seek? A memory? A historical figure? Or the living Jesus, who brings peace, power, and purpose? The empty tomb calls us to see, believe, and go tell the world.
