A sermon on John 20:1-18, the Easter morning encounter between Mary Magdalene and the risen Christ. Mary has watched Jesus die, anointed his body, and come to keep watch in the dark. Mtr. Suzie traces her journey from grief, through searching, to the moment Jesus says her name. On the cross Christ confronts a fracture that runs through all creation, including our failures, the world's violence, and death itself. Drawing on years of ministry among women in brothels, Mtr. Suzie insists the resurrection brings hope for now. Jesus chooses Mary as the first preacher of the gospel, a woman whose testimony would not have stood in any court. Mary weeps, turns, is sent. We are sent the same way.
