Reason to Rejoice

I think often of Mary sitting alone at the sepulchre, mourning the absence of her beloved friend.  Saturday, the day before Christ's resurrection must have been filled with sorrow, especially for those who walked with our Savior day after day and believed in His words.  Mary found some comfort sitting near the tomb.  I can't imagine her grief as she tried to emotionally accept the events of that week.  How her heart must have yearned to see Christ once more and to express her love to Him.
The unspeakable wonder and joy that rushed through her body as she recognized the Savior is beautifully portrayed in this video.

Easter weekend brings such hope and promise.  We will reunite with our loved ones who have gone before us.  Our bodies will be made perfect, free from disabilities and disease.  Because of the great sacrifice and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we will have eternal life!
