John 20:13

John 20:13

There is Reason in the Tears of Mary, for

I. They show her strong and tender love the most reasonable of all possible forms of love the love which she had for the perfect moral Being, our Lord Jesus Christ.

II. They expressed her bitter disappointment. She had come to find Him, and He was gone. "They have taken away my Lord."

III. They imply her longing for more knowledge about Him than she has, as yet.

IV. They are the earnest of her perseverance.
