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.’”

探访耶稣的坟墓
抹大拉的马利亚诚心地对待她心爱的救主和主。她为了主的去世而伤心。她盼望去看耶稣的坟墓。她对主耶稣的爱十分感人。
“七日的第一日清早,天还黑的时候,抹大拉的马利亚来到坟墓那里,看见石头从坟墓挪开了,就跑来见西门彼得和耶稣所爱的那个门徒,对他们说:‘有人把主从坟墓里挪了去,我们不知道放在哪里!’”
