Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord
But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”
Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”
She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary!”
She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’(John 20:11-17)
One of he first messages that Jesus wanted His disciples to know after His resurrection was:
I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.
Through the resurrection, everything that belongs to Jesus also belong to us in Him. His Father is now our Father.
We are joint heir with Christ and everything that belongs to the Father belongs to us in Christ. (Romans 8:17)
The Righteousness (Right standing with God) that Jesus has with the Father now belong us in Christ.
Isaiah prophesied about the Righteousness that all who believe in Jesus would receive when he said:
“Look to Me, and be saved,
All you ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself;
The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,
And shall not return,
That to Me every knee shall bow,
Every tongue shall take an oath.
He shall say, ‘Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength.
Surely in the Lord I have righteousness. Hallelujah.
For all the promises of God in Him (Jesus) are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. (2 Corinthians 1:20)
There is no promise in the Bible that God will not fulfill for His Son Jesus. Therefore in Christ, God does not withhold any promise from us.
It is your right to live healthy, prosperously, successfully, in peace, in joy and in every blessing of God today not because you deserve it, but because Jesus deserves it and and everything that is His is yours in Him.
Say it aloud - It is my right to live healthy, prosperously, successfully, in peace, in joy and in every blessing of God in Christ!!! Say it up til you believe it and then you will receive it.
I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart;
I will enter His courts with praise.
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
