Early in the morning on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene made her way to the tomb under the shroud of darkness and grief. Arriving, she finds that the stone has been removed, and the tomb was empty. Overcome, Mary weeps for she does not know where the body of Jesus is. Even when her beloved Rabbi speaks to her and asks her whom she is seeking, she still indicates that she is looking for the body of Jesus. When He calls her by name, she turns and understands that she was looking for a dead and defeated Jesus, but that is not what she found. This Easter, may we be willing to ask ourselves, "Who are you looking for?"
