LAMENT FOR EASTER SUNDAY
‘Just some women
A full church on Easter Sunday. Reading: John 19:38-20:20
The preacher said, ‘Jesus appeared after His crucifixion on eleven recorded occasions to multiple different groups of people. To just some women, initially, and then to many disciples, sometimes in groups, sometimes in very large groups, and on one occasion to a group of well over 500 people’.
The preacher could have meant or could have said, ‘He appeared first to Mary Magdalene and other women with her.’
But he didn’t say that, he said, ‘just some women’.
The preacher could have meant or could have said, ‘He appeared first to His female disciples, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, Salome and other women.’
But he didn’t say that, he said, ‘just some women’.
