Sunday, April 5, 2026 – Easter Sunday

Scripture: John 20:1–18

Scripture Summary:
Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and encounters the risen Christ, who calls her by name.

Devotional:
Mary goes to the tomb expecting death, but finds life. At first, she doesn’t recognize Jesus. It isn’t until He calls her name that everything changes. Resurrection often begins this way, quietly, personally, unexpectedly. Jesus is alive. And He is still calling us by name. Whatever has felt buried, lost, or finished, God is not done. Resurrection is here.

Prayer:
God, call me by name again, and help me to live as one who knows resurrection is real. Amen.
