Impossible

Just imagine, living in the 70’s. If you needed money you'd have to go to the bank to get it. Computers were not available to the general public. As a 10 years old kid, I went to Paris, France with my dad. We were visiting friends. We were exploring the city and this friend walked towards a wall, pushed some buttons and money came out. I was completely surprised. This was NOT possible. Surely a trick. Someone was joking with me. Was I in one of those television shows that try to shock people with elaborate pranks?

Something impossible, on a bigger and more serious scale, happened in this part of Jesus’ life. He died. Jesus was dead. Death is death. Once you're dead, you don’t get up again. Life is over. Resurrection? IMPOSSIBLE.

Mary came to the grave to honor and mourn Jesus, not expecting the grave to be empty. Peter and John ran, because they could not believe that Jesus’ grave was open. Mary did not recognize Jesus later on. Until…. he called her name. Jesus had said his followers would recognize him by his voice. That is what happened here. Mary recognizes his voice. She knows it's Jesus.

Jesus revealed himself to others too, more than 500 people saw him. They saw the impossible. Jesus back from the dead. Unbelievable. Yet some of them were killed for testifying about the resurrection of Jesus. They must have been thoroughly convinced and utterly certain about their encounter with Jesus if they were willing to die defending the truth.

Life after death. Maybe you don't think that's possible. It's mind blowing. But with Jesus, nothing is impossible. Get to know him. Learn to listen to his voice.
