he said to Mary Mary Magdalene when she

came looking in the burial grave cave

whatever it might have been woman why

are you weeping who are you looking for

who are you looking for John 20 verse 14

John 20 verse 14 and then looking around

she saw Jesus there but had no idea that

it was Jesus

remember they saw him being crucified

being well speared in the side they saw

him being embalmed and buried looking

around she saw Jesus there but had no

idea that it was Jesus jesus said to her

woman who why are you weeping who are

you looking for she taking him for the

gardener said to him sir if you have

taken him away from here see where you

have put him and I will take him away

jesus said to her Mary turning she said

to him in Hebrew Robin I was just to say

master and then she knew it was Jesus

many times many churches it is the women

who are looking for something and they

find God they find Jesus or they find

another but many times in many churches

it is the women who are busy busy but

let us not miss understand scripture too

much for we are the bride and he is the

groom it’s about what Mary did but it is

also about the church the church must be

constantly seeking Christ seeking Jesus

why are you weeping who are you looking

for that is the question isn’t it

who are you looking for are you looking

for Jesus are looking for maman who are

you looking for what are you looking for

why are you weeping if you believe in me

don’t you have eternal life and then why

are you weeping why blessed be our Lord

and I pray that all who weep for

whatever reason all who are looking may

find Christ Christ none other than when

he sees you weep and sees you looking he

might call your name and you might be

able to respond

Master ready for whatever blessed be

your Lord and may his words his words be

fulfilled because we return them to him

and the Word of God says that his words

never return unfulfilled always

something blessed be our Lord in Jesus

mighty name amen

blessed be your so Lord give us your

word speak with your voice speak unto

the hearts of those who are under the

power of your voice in Jesus mighty name

amen

woman why are you weeping who are you

looking for blessed be our Lord John 20

verse 1 John 20 verse 1 now on the first

day of the week very early while it was

still dark Mary Magdalene came to the

place and saw that the stone had been

taken away from it then she went running

to Simon Peter and to the other disciple

who was loved by Jesus and said to them

they have taken away the Lord out of the

place of the dead and we have no

knowledge where they have put him so

Peter and the other disciple went out to

the place of the dead they went running

together and the other disciple got in

front of Peter and came first to the

hole in the rock and looking in he saw

the linen bands on the earth but he did

not go in then Simon Peter came after

him and went into the hole in the rock

and he

saw the linen bands on the earth and a

cloth which had been round his head not

with the linen bands but rolled up in a

place by itself then the other disciple

who came there first went in and he saw

and belief came to him for at that time

they had no knowledge that the writing

said that he would have to come again

from the dead remember these were

unschooled fishermen tax collectors a

doctor people who by the nature of what

they did remember in those days I mean a

doctor now is totally different than a

doctor Dan a tax collector now is a

totally different person than a person

than a tax collector then they had no

knowledge they did not study scripture

there was a separate group of men to

whom that was reserved and so at that

time they had no knowledge the only hard

knowledge of what the Lord had told them

and that in the way in which they had

heard it and what they understood and

retained of it for at that time they had

no knowledge that the writing said that

he would have to come again from the

dead so then the

cybers went away again to their houses

they could not find him but Mary Mary

was still there outside the hole in the

rock weeping and while she was weeping

and looking into the hole she saw two

angels in white seated where the body of

Jesus had been one at the head and the

other at the feet they said to her woman

why are you weeping she said to them

because they have taken away my Lord and

I have no knowledge where they have put

him and then looking round she saw Jesus

there but had no idea that it was Jesus

jesus said to her woman why are you

weeping who are you looking for she

taking him for the gardener said to him

sir if you have taken him away from here

see where you have put him and I will

take him away jesus said to her Mary

turning she said to him in Hebrew Robin

I was just to see master jesus said to

her do not put your hand on me for I

have not gone up to the Father I have

not gone up in the spirit but go to my

others and say to them I go up to my

father and your father to my god and

your God Mary Magdalene went with the

news to the disciples and said she had

seen the Lord and that he had said these

things to her and evening and evening on

that day the first day of the week went

for fear of the Jews the doors were shut

where the disciples were Jesus came

among them and said to them may peace be

with you and when he had said this he

let them see his hands and his side then

the disciples were glad when they saw

the Lord and Jesus said to them again

may peace be with you as the father sent

me even so I now send you and when he

had said this breathing on them he said

to them let the Holy Spirit come on you

a knee to whom you give forgiveness will

be made free from their sins

notice that when he had said this

breathing on them he said to them let

the Holy Spirit come on a knee to whom

you give forgiveness will be made free

from their sins and any from whom you

keep back forgiveness will still be in

their sins interesting an interesting

give an interesting here how many times

you forgive always but it is this first

that says that at times at times it is

possible to withhold forgiveness now

Thomas one of the twelve named didymus

was not with them when Jesus came so the

other disciples said to him we have seen

the Lord but he said to them if I do not

see in his hands the print of the nails

and put my finger into the print of the

nails and if I do not put my hand into

his side I will never have believe who

are you looking for Thomas what are you

looking for talents a sign and after

eight days his disciples were again in

the house and Thomas was with them

though the doors were shut Jesus came

and taking his place in the middle of

them he said may peace be with you may

peace be with you then he said to Thomas

put out your finger and see my hands and

put your hand here into my side and be

no longer in doubt but have believed

have believed his finger would fit into

the wounds of the nails and his whole

hand into the wound on his side and

Thomas John 20 verse 28 and Thomas said

in answer my Lord and my god said to him

I pray because you have believed and you

have not seen the Lord not in the

– as what is meant here you have not

seen the Lord but you have belief that

you may be open to receive His blessing

in your inner man in your soul because

you have belief in him let his spirit

the Holy Spirit let the power of God

reign in your soul open up and let him

in because you have belief in him

blessed be our Lord his blessing be

upon you all the days of your life
