Acts 2:36-41, Ps 33, John 20:11-18

What’s in a name

“Mary.” Jesus spoke her name and Mary of Magadala knew it was him. It meant so much to her, the way he said her name. At the tomb, that morning, Mary of Magdala got her life back again. Her grief turned to joy. The love of her life who had died on the cross was returned to her. The hope that had gone from her heart was revived. Why would she not cling to him? Have you ever had a sense that you heard him speak your name?
