Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net.

John chapter 20 verses 11 through 16 so we're gonna pray particularly according verse 16, but I want you to hear the full context.

So verse 11, John chapter 20, but Mary stood weeping outside the tomb.

And as she wept, she stooped to look into the tomb.

And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.

They said to her, woman, why are you weeping?

She said to them, they have taken away my Lord,

and I do not know where they have laid him. Having said this she turned around and

saw Jesus standing but she did not know that it was Jesus. She just said to her,

woman why are you weeping why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him,

sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away.

Here's verse 16.

Jesus said to her, Mary.

She turned around and said to him in Aramaic,

Ravanai, which means teacher. In other words, she realized

this was not the gardener. This was Jesus. I just want you to put yourself in this story in Mary's shoes.

You saw Jesus die the most cruel form of death imaginable.

All the crowds yelling at him,

mocking him, beating him, scourging him, spitting on him.

I mean, just picture, like seeing that happen to someone you love, seeing them die, seeing their ripped body shattered

and torn body taken off of a cross, and then put in a tomb.

You have spent the last few days just weeping over what has happened.
