Theme: Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene. Mary sees the perfect and true man who lived God’s law perfectly. Because of the resurrection, a new creation and a new connection with God from heaven to earth has begun, just like it was in the garden of Eden. Jesus gave Mary resurrection life, the power to rise and to tell others what Jesus has done and said. And to everyone who would hear and see like Mary, we too have the power to live for Jesus, to rise and to go and make him known.
