A Brief Conversation With The Angels

Text: John 20: 13

A BRIEF CONVERSATION WITH THE ANGELS

The angels spoke to Mary first. If they did not, she would have continued to weep.

“Then they said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘Because they have taken away my my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.’”

John 20:13

1. “Then they said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’”

a. The angels were of course wondering why Mary was weeping.
b. There should have been great rejoicing.
c. The Lord Jesus has risen from the dead.
d. Death had been conquered.
e. Jesus had risen as He had said to all of the disciples.

2. “She said to them”

a. Mary had made a similar statement to Peter and John.

b. The two men had run to the garden tomb while she was making her way there.
c. When arrived, Peter and John were nowhere in sight.
d. They had returned to their own homes.
e. She was right back where she started.

3. “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have taken Him”

a. She had believed that the body of the Lord had been taken away.
i. Perhaps by their enemies.
ii. Perhaps they had planned to desecrate the body of her beloved Master.
b. She did not know where they had taken His body.
i. She desperately wanted to know where she could find the body of her Master.
ii. She needed to know or she would not be able to stop the tears from flowing.

WHERE LOVE FOR JESUS IS NOT ENOUGH

That Mary Magdalene loved Jesus cannot be questioned. But what was needed was not love.

1. Knowledge of the Scripture and what Jesus taught was badly needed.
2. Faith in the Lord’s teaching about the resurrection was also missing.

The lack of knowledge and faith caused Mary to be unable to break out of her gloom!

经文:约翰福音 20:13

与天使的简短对话

天使先与马利亚对话。不然,她会继续哭泣。

“天使对她说:‘妇人,你为什么哭?’她说:‘因为有人把我主挪了去,我不知道放在哪里。’”

《约翰福音 20:13》

1. “天使对她说:‘妇人,你为什么哭?’”

a. 天使们当然想知道马利亚为了什么而哭泣
b. 她应该大大欢喜
c. 因为主耶稣从死里复活
d. 祂战胜了死亡
e. 就如耶稣对门徒所说的,祂已经复活了

2. “她说”

a. 马利亚对彼得和约翰说了类似的话
b. 如她一样,他们之前也往坟墓那里去
c. 马利亚到达时,彼得和约翰却无处可见
d. 因为他们已经回返自己的家中
e. 马利亚却回到了起步点

3. “因为有人把我主挪了去,我不知道放在哪里”

a. 她相信主的身体被人挪走了
i. 也许是他们的敌人
ii. 也许他们有计划亵渎她心爱主的尸体
b. 她不知道他们把身体放在哪里
i. 她急着要知道主的身体放在哪里
ii. 若找不到,她会无法停止哭泣

单凭对耶稣有爱是不足的

抹大拉的马利亚对耶稣的爱是无可否认的。但她需要的不仅是爱。

1. 她缺乏了经文和耶稣教训的认识

2. 她也缺乏信心相信耶稣所教导过的复活

知识和信心的缺乏导致马利亚无法摆脱她的阴郁!
