RADIO PROGRAM No. 394 - The Challenge of the Resurrection

SPEAKER: Many centuries ago, in the early morning hours before sunrise, an event occurred unparalleled in significance and promise in the world's history. At first it became known to only a few humble folk who at the time were hardly aware of the magnitude of the occasion.

Mary Magdalene had gone in the dark to the sepulcher in which the body of Christ Jesus had been laid following his crucifixion. Mary stood by the sepulcher weeping. As she wept, she stooped down to look for the Master. Unknown to her, Jesus had already risen from the tomb and stood nearby. But Mary was not aware that it was Jesus.

As we read in the Gospel of John: "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto he, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni: which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."
