The absence of Jesus in the open tomb made the disciples feel nothing, but it made the worshiper cry Holy. They came as spectators but Mary Magdalene came as a worshiper. She is a committed worshiper and God loves her. She is deeply grieved by the absence of Jesus as she is desperately seeking His Presence more than anything in life. She wanted to worship God; she has seen the Lord Jesus worthy to be praised as He has demonstrated the love of God on the cross of Calvary. She knew He died in her place to redeem her eternally. She knew His blood was shed to cleanse her from her sins. A heart of worship burns with the passion for the crucified One. Many waters cannot quench that flame of love. A heart of worship is tormented and broken here by the agony of love. No one can console her, because God alone is a worshiper's comforter. Someone mad about Jesus will worship Him with passion till the end. The deep is calling the deep. She is weeping, she has done every thing to be with Jesus, there is nothing more to do now as an act of worship. Many women did noble things but the number one surpasses them all. Your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual presence, time and sincere efforts matters in worship. Time is life. If you don’t give your time for God, you don’t give your life to God. The Angels asked her why she is crying; she said "I don’t know where they have taken away my Lord and where they have laid Him". Number one is not ashamed to confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord. What will others do to His crucified body, she express her concern. Now Jesus appeared and asked "why are you weeping, what are you seeking?" And she said "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him and I will take Him away". She is determined to carry Him regardless of the condition of the body after three days. A number one is united with Jesus in His death and His resurrection. Now Jesus is calling the number one her name "Mary". Hello, have you heard Him lately. Worship is a face to face and lip to lip conversation with God and his true worshiper. Amen...VJ Traven
