That morning...

¹⁵Jesus spoke to her, "Woman, why do you weep? Who are you looking for?"

She, thinking that he was the gardener, said, "Mister, if you took him, tell me where you put him so I can care for him."

¹⁶Jesus said, "Mary."

And, just like that, He calls our names and we suddenly recognize the One we've been looking for all along...

...And our dead hopes come back to vibrant life, better than we ever could have imagined.

Happy Easter!
