Jesus is All the
World to Me
“But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she
stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white
sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto
them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid
him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 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 her, 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. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and
that he had spoken these things unto her.” (John 20:11-18)
Today’s Morsel: A few weeks
ago, I was able to catch a short portion of an excerpt of the ‘Chosen’
series. The excerpt I watched dealt with Jesus casting the demons out of
Mary Magdalene, after the Pharisees had tried to but were unsuccessful.
But now that she is in her right mind, Nicodemus is sent to find out how she
was delivered. When asked by Nicodemus if she knew His name, she said
no. When he asked her if she saw Him again if she would recognize Him,
she said, oh yes, I could never forget Him. Do you remember what your
life was like before Jesus rescued you? Do you remember the things that
you were possessed with that He delivered you from? How much does Jesus
mean to you? Now that you have been made whole, do you know Him when He
comes near to you? Do you know Him when He speaks to you again? One of
the highlights of Moses’ final instructions to the children of Israel was, do
not forget God!
Sing: Jesus is all the world to me, I
want no better friend. I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when life’s fleeting
days shall end. Beautiful life with such a friend, beautiful life that
has no end. Eternal life, eternal joy, He’s my friend.
Thought For Today: Don’t forget
God!
