John 20:1-18 "New Management Now"

This world is under new management now.

On the day before Easter, the rabbis taught that women were not credible witnesses to an event. On Easter morning, Jesus speaks Mary into new life and commissions her to be the first evangelist, modeling for generations of men and women who boldly proclaim "I have seen the Lord!"

The world is under new management now.

On the day before Easter, anyone who hung on a tree was considered cursed. On Easter morning, the One who died on a tree was declared blessed by God and blessed the world.

The world is under new managment now.

On the day before Easter, death had struck a blow against God that seemed to halt God's salvation plan. On Easter morning, death's power vaporized like dew before a sunrise. Life was triumphant.

The world is under new management now. Praise the Lord.
