Easter: Why Are You Crying?

Take a look at the events of that first Easter through the perspective of one of most overlooked yet most mentioned characters in this amazing story – Mary Magdalene. Overwhelmed and confused by finding an empty tomb, tears rolling down her cheeks, she hears a voice ask, “Why are you crying?” And what she saw when she turned around changed everything.

If this Easter finds you overwhelmed and confused, if tears are never far away, let this message bring hope that Friday doesn’t have the last word.
