Why Are You Weeping? - Easter Sunday 2026

Mary Magdalene came to the tomb while it was still dark. This is not only a description of the time of day, it is also an accurate assessment of the world as she knew it. The sun was not yet up, the night was still there, but more than that, it was dark in her mind and heart. Jesus was dead.

The One who had cast out her demons, the One who had spoken with authority unlike the scribes, the One who had healed the sick, forgiven sinners, and called the dead from their graves had been laid in one. She saw the Lord crucified. She had seen His suffering. She saw Him give up His spirit. She saw the spear pierce His side. She saw Him buried.
