He Is Risen are the three words most spoken on Easter Sunday as the Christian world commemorate's Jesus' resurrection. They are the of the three most significant words to Christians because they speak to the essence of our faith - that Jesus has made a way for us to God the Father.
As I think back to that first Easter morning I wonder whether there was a fourth word that served to irrevocably change history. That word was spoken by Jesus Himself to a heart-broken, disconsolate woman and it was her name..."Mary". Hearing her Saviour call her essentially tilted her world on its axis. Her fears, doubts, anguish and despair were replaced with joy, relief, belief and hope.
So it is today that God Himself speaks that fourth word to each of us individually, calling us by the name He knew we would have before time began. Lovingly urging us to follow His path for us, set out before we were born. Gently encouraging us to turn to Him as our Source. Frequently reminding us that He love us. Simply affirming that He has it all under control and will never let us go.
Take time today to listen for that word today...He's speaking it.
