“…Why are you
crying?...” – John 20:13,15
Early on the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene went to the tomb where Jesus was laid and saw that the stone was
removed. Later she stood there and wept as she could not find Jesus inside the
tomb. Jesus appeared to her and asked, “Woman, why are you crying?”

The One whom you are
longing for is right beside you says Holy Spirit to you.
“At this, she turned around and saw
Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus." - John 20:14.
Mary wept because she
could not find Jesus. As she was weeping, she spoke to the angels and as she
turned around she saw Jesus standing there but yet she didn’t realize Him. You
are also crying because you could not find Jesus in your life’s situation. You
are longing to see Him and to hear His voice but you are feeling emptiness
within you and in your life. Today Holy Spirit wants me to say to you that Jesus
Christ is standing right beside you to wipe away your tears and He will bring
joy into your life. You will see Him.
As Mary could not find
Jesus, she ran to the disciples and told them about it. Peter and John came to
the tomb and as they could not find Jesus, they went back. But Mary persistently
waited there.
Bible says in Mark 16:9, “Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, He
appeared first to Mary Magdalene…”
Jesus appeared to Mary first as she
was waiting persistently to see God that morning. Have faith upon God and seek
Him with all your heart. As you wait patiently for God and trust in Him, He
will definitely do wonders in your life. No one who hopes in Him will ever be
put to shame.
Mary’s tears brought
Jesus to the place where she was. God heard the groaning and cry of Israelites
and He came down to rescue them from their suffering. Even today, God will do
the same to you. He will take control of your life and will wipe away your
tears.
