A Special Manifestation

Text: John 20: 16 - 18

A SPECIAL MANIFESTATION

It would have been special if Mary had been able to break out of her sad despondency because of her faith. But that was not forthcoming. The Lord Jesus understood that and He manifested Himself. This was the first manifestation of the Risen Saviour to His Disciples.

“Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to Him, ‘Rabboni!’ (which is to say, Teacher).  Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to 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 to her.”

John 20:16-18

1. “Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’
She turned and said to Him, ‘Rabboni!’ (which is to say, Teacher).”

a. Just one word… “Mary”.

b. Because this is a manifestation, Mary recognized Jesus.

i. This was her beloved Teacher.

ii. He had indeed risen from the dead!

2. “Jesus said to her”

a. “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father”

i. Jesus would need to present Himself to the Father.

ii. That would be a joyous occasion.

b. Instruction to Mary

i. She was to give a message to His brethren.

ii. This was a wondrous word!

c. The LORD

i. He would be their Father as He is to Jesus!

ii. He would be their God, as He is to Jesus!

3. Mary on her first mission

a. She found the Disciples.

b. She had seen the Risen Lord and He had spoken to her graciously.

经文：约翰福音 20：16-18

一个特别的显现

倘若马利亚因为对主的信，而能摆脱悲伤的沮丧，将会是特别的。然而，这并不是即将发生的事。主耶稣理解这情况，并显现了自己。这是复活的救世主第一次显现给祂的门徒们。

“耶稣说：‘马利亚！’马利亚就转过来，用希伯来话对他说：‘拉波尼！’（“拉波尼”就是“夫子”的意思。） 耶稣说：‘不要摸我，因我还没有升上去见我的父。你往我弟兄那里去，告诉他们说我要升上去见我的父，也是你们的父，见我的神，也是你们的神。’ 抹大拉的马利亚就去告诉门徒说：‘我已经看见了主！’她又将主对她说的这话告诉他们。”

《约翰福音20：16-18》

1. “耶稣说：‘马利亚！’

马利亚就转过来，用希伯来话对他说：‘拉波尼！’”

（“拉波尼”就是“夫子”的意思。）

a. 就只有一句话……“马利亚”

b. 因为这是一个显现，马利亚认出了耶稣

i． 这是她心爱的夫子

ii．衪确实从死里复活了!

2．“耶稣说”

a.“不要摸我，因我还没有升上去见我的父。”

i． 耶稣需要侍立在祂的父面前

ii．那将是个欢庆的时刻

b．给马利亚的指示

ii．这是个美好的话语!

c．上帝

i． 祂将会是他们的父，如同祂是耶稣的父!
