Whom Are You Seeking? (John 20:1-18)

We have finally come to Easter and as is our tradition at Hudson UMC, we hold our Easter Sunrise Service at 6:30 AM in front of the cemetery.  It's a stark reminder that the women went to the tomb of Jesus early in the morning on that first day of the week, just as the sun was coming up.  And in the cold morning air we begin to see the light of day approaching and feel the warmth of the Sun as it lights up the world around us.  This year we look at the testimony of John, and his account of Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Christ.  This scene from the Bible so inspired C. Austin Miles that he wrote his most famous hymn, In The Garden, based upon the text.  May we also be inspired to meet the risen Christ on this Easter Sunday!
