Easter Greetings

Apr 21, 2025  •  Marj Maynard

The Easter morning encounter in today’s verse seems almost amusingly casual. The two women named Mary meet the just-risen Jesus. “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary” (Matthew 28:1) have just seen the empty tomb and heard

an angel announce, “He has risen” (Matthew 28:5). Imagine their feelings when Jesus meets them with one cordial word, “Greetings!” With His presence and a simple word, Jesus fulfills their expectations, floods them with contentment, and brings hope to life. As He did with the two Marys, Jesus meets us every morning, just as we are, wherever we are. His risen presence greets us each day and, when we meet and receive Him in faith, He will exceed our expectations, bless us with contentment, and fill us with eternal hope. Easter greetings to all, any day, every day.
