- 2:10the

- 2:21his
- 2:21hands

- 2:24the
- 2:24Master
- 2:24with
- 2:24their

- 2:43point
- 2:44to
- 2:44ponder.
- 2:44Number
- 2:44one,
- 2:44Resurrection
- 2:45is
- 2:45personal
- 2:46before
- 2:47it's
- 2:47doctrinal
- 2:49so
- 2:50that's
- 2:51an
- 2:51important
- 2:51thing
- 2:51to
- 2:51say.
- 2:52As
- 2:53I
- 2:53read
- 2:53this
- 2:53passage,
- 2:54Mary
- 2:54is
- 2:54standing
- 2:55right
- 2:55in
- 2:56front
- 2:56of
- 2:56the
- 2:56risen
- 2:56Jesus
- 2:57and
- 2:57she
- 2:57really
- 2:57doesn't
- 2:58get
- 2:58it.
- 2:58She
- 2:58didn't
- 2:58know
- 2:58who
- 2:58he
- 2:59is.
- 3:00She
- 3:00has
- 3:00no
- 3:00idea
- 3:00it's
- 3:01him,
- 3:01and
- 3:01she
- 3:01thinks,
- 3:02maybe
- 3:02he's
- 3:02the
- 3:02gardener.
- 3:03Angels
- 3:04didn't
- 3:04break
- 3:04through
- 3:05her
- 3:05grief,
- 3:05and
- 3:07the
- 3:07empty
- 3:07linens
- 3:07didn't
- 3:08break
- 3:08through.
- 3:08Even
- 3:08the
- 3:09direct
- 3:09question
- 3:09didn't
- 3:10break
- 3:10through.
- 3:11What
- 3:11broke
- 3:12through
- 3:12was
- 3:13her
- 3:14name.
- 3:15He
- 3:16said
- 3:16the
- 3:16name
- 3:17Mary.
- 3:18That's
- 3:18it.
- 3:19That's
- 3:19the
- 3:19moment.
- 3:20He
- 3:20just
- 3:20said
- 3:20her
- 3:21name.
- 3:21And
- 3:21that
- 3:21changed
- 3:22everything.
- 3:23So
- 3:23from
- 3:23a
- 3:23progressive
- 3:24theological
- 3:25standpoint,
- 3:26this
- 3:26is
- 3:26enormously
- 3:27significant.
- 3:28So
- 3:29much
- 3:29of
- 3:29religious
- 3:29culture
- 3:30puts
- 3:30the
- 3:30emphasis
- 3:30on
- 3:31getting
- 3:31the
- 3:31doctrine
- 3:32right,
- 3:33reciting
- 3:33the
- 3:33correct
- 3:34creed,
- 3:34holding
- 3:35the
- 3:35proper
- 3:35beliefs
- 3:35about
- 3:36resurrection.
- 3:37But
- 3:37John's
- 3:38account
- 3:38simply
- 3:38suggests
- 3:39something
- 3:40is
- 3:40far
- 3:40more
- 3:40intimate
- 3:41is
- 3:41happening
- 3:41here.
- 3:42The
- 3:43resurrection
- 3:43encounter
- 3:44isn't
- 3:44primarily
- 3:45intellectual.
- 3:46It's
- 3:47relational.
- 3:47It's
- 3:47personal.
- 3:48It's
- 3:49the
- 3:49difference
- 3:49between
- 3:49knowing
- 3:50about
- 3:50someone
- 3:50and
- 3:51being
- 3:51known
- 3:52by
- 3:52them
- 3:53by
- 3:53name.
- 3:55Now,
- 3:55my
- 3:55granddaughters
- 3:56can
- 3:56be
- 3:56in
- 3:56a
- 3:57loud,
- 3:57chaotic
- 3:57room
- 3:58full
- 3:58of
- 3:58people,
- 3:59and
- 3:59if
- 3:59the
- 4:00moment
- 4:00they
- 4:00hear
- 4:00my
- 4:01voice
- 4:02calling
- 4:02their
- 4:03names,
- 4:04everything
- 4:04else
- 4:04falls
- 4:05away,
- 4:05they
- 4:05can
- 4:05run
- 4:05into
- 4:05me.
- 4:06That's
- 4:06not
- 4:07theology.
- 4:07That's
- 4:07this
- 4:08love
- 4:08operating
- 4:08in
- 4:09language
- 4:10and
- 4:10in
- 4:10voice
- 4:11recognition
- 4:11in
- 4:12close
- 4:12range.
- 4:13I
- 4:13think
- 4:13that's
- 4:14exactly
- 4:14what
- 4:14John
- 4:14is
- 4:15showing
- 4:15us
- 4:15here.
- 4:16So
- 4:16progressive
- 4:17reading
- 4:17the
- 4:17moment,
- 4:18ask,
- 4:18what
- 4:18if
- 4:19resurrection
- 4:19isn't
- 4:19primarily
- 4:20a
- 4:20doctrine
- 4:20we
- 4:21defend,
- 4:22but
- 4:22an
- 4:22experience
- 4:23of
- 4:23being
- 4:23intimately
- 4:24known,
- 4:24called
- 4:24by
- 4:25name
- 4:26even
- 4:26the
- 4:26middle
- 4:26of
- 4:27your
- 4:27deepest
- 4:27grief?
- 4:29Point
- 4:29to
- 4:30consider,
- 4:31point
- 4:31to
- 4:32ponder.
- 4:32Number
- 4:32two,
- 4:32don't
- 4:33cling.
- 4:34Mary
- 4:34was
- 4:34the
- 4:34first
- 4:35one
- 4:35sent.
- 4:36Jesus
- 4:37says
- 4:37something
- 4:37that
- 4:37sounds
- 4:37almost
- 4:38jarring
- 4:38in
- 4:38the
- 4:38middle
- 4:39of
- 4:39this
- 4:39tender
- 4:39moment.
- 4:40He
- 4:40says,
- 4:41mary,
- 4:41don't
- 4:41cling
- 4:42to
- 4:42me.
- 4:43Mary
- 4:44just
- 4:44found
- 4:45what
- 4:46she
- 4:46thought
- 4:46was
- 4:46lost.
- 4:46And
- 4:46she,
- 4:47of
- 4:47course
- 4:47she
- 4:47wants
- 4:47to
- 4:47hold
- 4:47on
- 4:48to
- 4:48him.
- 4:49But
- 4:49Jesus
- 4:50redirects
- 4:50her.
- 4:51Very
- 4:51interesting.
- 4:51Don't
- 4:52cling,
- 4:53but
- 4:53go.
- 4:54Go
- 4:55and
- 4:55tell
- 4:55others.
- 4:57And
- 4:57this
- 4:57is
- 4:57where
- 4:58this
- 4:59passage
- 4:59really
- 4:59becomes
- 5:00radical.
- 5:01See,
- 5:01in
- 5:01the
- 5:01first
- 5:01century,
- 5:02a
- 5:02woman's
- 5:02testimony
- 5:03was
- 5:03not
- 5:03considered
- 5:03legally
- 5:04credible.
- 5:05Women
- 5:06were
- 5:06routinely
- 5:07excluded
- 5:07from
- 5:07positions
- 5:08of
- 5:08religious
- 5:09authority
- 5:09and
- 5:10public
- 5:10witness.
- 5:10And
- 5:11yet
- 5:11Jesus
- 5:12deliberately
- 5:13chose
- 5:13Mary
- 5:13Magdalene
- 5:14as
- 5:14the
- 5:14first
- 5:14person
- 5:15to
- 5:15carry
- 5:16the
- 5:16resurrection
- 5:17news.
- 5:18The
- 5:18first
- 5:18preacher
- 5:19of
- 5:19the
- 5:19risen
- 5:20Christ
- 5:21was
- 5:21a
- 5:21woman
- 5:22that
- 5:23the
- 5:23religious
- 5:23establishment
- 5:24of
- 5:24her
- 5:24day
- 5:24would
- 5:24have
- 5:25dismissed
- 5:26entirely.
- 5:27So
- 5:28progressive
- 5:28theology
- 5:29takes
- 5:29this
- 5:29seriously.
- 5:30It
- 5:31pushes
- 5:31us
- 5:31to
- 5:31ask
- 5:32what
- 5:32we
- 5:32might
- 5:32be
- 5:32dismissing
