Visit To The Tomb Of Jesus

Text: John 20: 1 - 2

VISIT TO THE TOMB OF JESUS

Mary Magdalene was devoted to her beloved Saviour and Lord. She grieved that her Master had died. She was drawn to visit the tomb of Jesus. Her heart of love for the Lord Jesus was deeply moving.

“Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.’”
