If We Seek Him
What compels a group of women to rise up “very early in the morning” after the Sabbath … … to go to the tomb, … to anoint the body of an already buried Christ … … not even knowing how they would move the stone at the entrance? – Mark 16:1-3 . Their anguish at…

None Were With Him
It is one thing to pass through trials, temptations, physical pain, and suffering. . It is quite another thing, to feel completely abandoned, alone … forsaken! .

She Hath Wrought a Good Work
What could she possibly do to serve Him? . Jesus had raised her brother from the dead. She had sat at his feet receiving the gospel. Jesus loved Mary and her family . What meaningful gift could she possibly offer the Savior? . Perhaps Mary, as many women, was more attuned the Savior’s feelings. ……

He Sees
She had probably passed by the treasury hundreds of times. Quietly giving … never drawing attention to herself. Likely invisible to those around her. But she was not invisible to Him! . Why was Jesus there at that exact moment? How did He know that she had given everything she had? . In my church…
