Description

I'm currently working on a very fun project where I'm helping to revamp a bunch of art for Samaritan's Purse.
Thought I'd share this one since it's fitting for Easter. Well, you know, it's fitting any day of the year really, but you get what I'm saying.

Hopes ya likes it!

John 20:11-17: 

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 Mary Magdalene stood crying outside the tomb. She was still weeping, when she stooped down and saw two angels inside. They were dressed in white and were sitting where Jesus' body had been. One was at the head and the other was at the foot. The angels asked Mary, “Why are you crying?” She answered, “They have taken away my Lord’s body! I don’t know where they have put him.”

As soon as Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know who he was. Jesus asked her, “Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”

She thought he was the gardener and said, “Sir, if you have taken his body away, please tell me, so I can go and get him.” Then Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni.” The Aramaic word “Rabboni” means “Teacher.” Jesus told her, “Don’t hold on to me! I have not yet gone to the Father. But tell my disciples that I am going to the one who is my Father and my God, as well as your Father and your God.” 18 Mary Magdalene then went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord. She also told them what he had said to her.

"So, uhh, yeah: He's kinda not dead anymore." Love the humorous take on it! (And I'm confident that Jesus would appreciate the joke: He did tell the self-righteous civic leaders they were "filtering out gnats while swallowing camels," after all.)


I love how it's not one of The Twelve but Miriam (the Hebrew form of "Mary") who's the first to see the risen Jesus! I've always believed she was special to Him! (I'm working on a Gospels-based story, "The Thirteenth Apostle," that postulates that Mary -- Magdalene -- was actually one of Jesus' chosen followers.)


Have a blessed day and evening, everyone.
