Supposing Him To Be The Gardener - PDF

On this Easter Sunday, we locate the account of the empty tomb within its wider context in the Biblical narrative and focus on the affirmation of Jesus as Son of David, Son of Man, Son of God, Messiah, Lord and Prophet. We see that even Mary Magdalene mistook Jesus for the hired help ("supposing him to be the gardener") and we think about what it might mean for the church today if we shook off this mistaken understanding of who Jesus is and embraced instead lives devoted to proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord.
