John 20:11-18
Mary hears His Voice

This Sunday Rose Maskery (my Mom) will be sharing her story. People often ask about how she and my Dad met and were married. It's a very unique story, you won't want to miss it. 

Throughout her testimony, my Mom will be talking about hearing God's voice. Read John 20:11-18. In this passage of Scripture Jesus appears to Mary after His resurrection. Mary is the first person to see Jesus after His resurrection and their interaction is beautiful. 

When Mary first sees Jesus she does not recognize Him, she thinks He is the gardener, why do you think this is? Mary only recognized Jesus when He said, "Mary"...and then she turned and said, "Rabboni!" Why do you think Mary did not recognize Him when she saw him but then did recognize Him when He said her name? What is going on here? And then what do you think Jesus meant when He told Mary not to cling to Him because He had not yet ascended to the Father?
