Whom Are You Seeking?

We are all seeking something. In John 20:11-18, Mary Magdalene goes to the the now empty tomb. She is distressed. There she encounters the risen Christ, but Mary does not recognize Him. Jesus asks Mary an important question, "Whom are you seeking?" Mary does not answer directly. This is a question we all need to ask ourselves. Knowing that we are all seeking something to fulfill our lives, let us consider Jesus' question to Mary - "Whom are you seeking?"

When Jesus then calls her by name, Mary recognizes Jesus. "Mary" is a personal response. Mary doesn't recognize Jesus by sight, but by voice.

We are made to have a relationship with God. Whom are you seeking?
