Easter's Sweet Surprise

"Mary Magdalene went out and said to the followers, 'I saw the Lord!'" (John 20:18)
If you like surprises, you should like the Bible, because God is the God of surprises. If you like parties, you should like the Bible because God is the God of parties. If you like them both, you should like the story of the surprise party that God gives Mary when she approaches the tomb.
Jesus, thank You for the sweet surprise of Easter morning. We are thankful that when You arose from Your sleep of death, You didn't go immediately to heaven, but instead You went and visited people. This visit of love reminds us that it was for people that you died. We praise Your name for that sweet surprise.
