A sermon based on Song of Songs 3. 1-4 and John 20. 1-2, 11-18. A transcript of the full sermon can be found below the audio player.
The Gospel reading we just heard tells us something really important about Mary Magdalene which separates her from Jesus’ other followers, she stays, she remains at the tomb. She gets to them tomb, discovers that Jesus is gone and hurries to tell the other disciples, the reading we heard cuts out the next part where Peter and John come to the tomb with her and look inside. They see and believe, but they don’t yet understand, and in their confusion they go back home. But Mary stays, she remains at the tomb, and as a result becomes the first person to see the risen Jesus.

AuthorAn Anglican Curate in my 20's I was raised in an Anglican Church, went to a Youth Club run by an Evangelical Church, attended a Baptist Church while at Uni and was a member of a New Monastic Community after graduating. As such my faith has been influenced by these experiences and traditions into what I hope is a more rounded viewpoint. Archives
