Mark 16:1-8 ESV
16 When the Sabbath was
past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James,
and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And
very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to
the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another,
“Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 And
looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5 And entering
the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed
in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6 And
he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But
go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee.
There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8 And
they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized
them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Yes, another week of study. Study in Holy Week. Prayer with
God and to God. Thanks, given. This week I have chosen something a bit different.
Upon my reflection on the Word, I offer a reflective poem…
I Saw You Last Week
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last
Week
Lord, I Saw You
And Then, I Saw Me
I Saw You… And I Saw Me
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Followed You Last Week
I Saw You Ride into Jerusalem
And Then, I Saw Me
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Placed Cloaks on the
Donkey
I Strew Palm Branches in the Street
I Shouted Hosanna!
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Was There for the Plot to Kill You
I Wanted Myself,
More Than You
I Saw a Side of Me to Forget
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw a Woman Pour Ointment on Your Head
I Argued, What a Waste!
I Thought Better of
Money Than Your Glory
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Agreed to Betray You For a Few Coins
I Promised to Turn You Over
For a Few Coins
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Fed Me Bread and Wine
I Took It From You
I Was Confused
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Kneeled Before Me
You Washed My Feet
I Was Appalled!
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You, Told Me I Would Betray You
I Knew Better of Myself
I Told You No!
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Followed You to the Garden
I Watched You Pray
I Fell Asleep
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Followed You Last Week
I Saw You Turned Over
I Ran Away
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Before the Council
I Hid in the Dark
That Was Me
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Gathered by the Fire
I Denied You Three Times
I Claimed Ignorance
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Standing Before Pilate
I Said Nothing
I Was Silent
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Handed Over for Crucifixion
I Shouted, Crucify!
I Joined the Angry
Crowd
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Mocked
I Saw You Dressed in a Phony Robe and a Crown of Thorns
I Made Fun of You
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw a Man Carry Your Cross
I Watched
I Did Nothing
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Tied and Nailed
I Stayed at a Distance
I Was Far Removed from
Your Torture
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw the Darkness
I Heard Your Cry to God
But Waited to See
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Offered a Drink
I Saw You Refuse
I Didn’t Help
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Heard What You Said
I Heard Words of Forgiveness
I Waited for
Something More
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw Your Side Pierced
I Saw Water and Blood
I Had No Idea
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw Your Body Dropped to the Ground
I Saw Them Take You Away
I Ran and Hid
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Laid in the Tomb
I Saw You Carefully Wrapped in Linen
I Took No Part in This Act of Love
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Watched as the Women Came to Anoint Your Dead Body
I Saw the Stone Rolled Away
I Refused to Believe
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Heard a Young Man at Your Tomb
I Heard You Had Been Raised
I Fled Your Tomb in Terror and Amazement
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Did All This for Me
I Saw the Love of God
I Saw God in Flesh
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw the King
I Saw the Banquet
I Saw Forgiveness
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw the Body and Blood
I Saw the Bread and Wine
I Saw the Gift
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw the Servant
I Saw the Example
I Saw How to Live for God and the Other
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw Darkness Change to Light
I Saw Sin Flee
I Saw Death Defeated
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Thought I Was Distant
I Thought I Was Far Away
But You Were Near to Me
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw My Tomb Open
I Saw Light Shine In
I Heard Your Voice
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
It Was My Tomb
You Rolled the Stone Away
You Opened the Door
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Called me Out
Come Out to Play
I Saw Your Light All Around
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Set Sin at my Back
You Took Care of it All
I Fell into Your Arms
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Were Surrounded by The Saints
You Held Out Your Hand
I Didn’t Drown
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Pulled Me Up
You Calmed the Stormy Waters
You Made Me Your Own
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Called me Out of Darkness
You Placed Me in Your Light
You Drew Me In
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
You Became All Light
You Ran Out in Front
I Run in Joy and Laughter After You
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You Come to Me
I Saw Your Love for Me
I Believe!
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw My Sin
I Heard Your Forgiveness
I Believe!
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw Grace
I Saw the Face of God
I Believe!
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
Lord, I Saw You
And then, I Saw Me
I Saw You… And I Saw Me
Lord Jesus, I Saw You Last Week
I Saw You
You Saw Me
And You Saved Me
May your
Easter celebration sparkle with the Light of Christ. Follow Him and run after
him. Laugh a Holy Laugh of joy and praise of all that Jesus has done for you…
today… tomorrow… and forever.
I leave
you with this wonderful song of joy that pulled me in this week.
