Today, as I reflected on the account of John in the death and resurrection of Jesus, I became reflective. For a few moments, I didn’t feel emotional—I simply paused and took in the words of Mary when she said, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid Him.”
John 20:13
“And they said to her, ‘Woman, why are you sobbing?’ She said to them, ‘Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.’”
To Mary—who had journeyed with her Master, watched Him be beaten, crucified, and buried—all she had left to hold onto was His body. Yet even in death, she still called Him “my Lord.” Death could not take Jesus’ position in Mary’s life.
She stood, waited, and kept waiting… asking anyone she thought might know:
“If you have taken my Master, show me where He is so I can take Him.”
“My Lord.”
To her, He remained her Lord.
She would wait for Him—even if it was only His body.
Mary’s posture becomes a question for us today:
What position does Jesus hold in our lives?
Mary waited for a Lord she believed was still in the grave. Yet we live in the truth of His resurrection—so why do we struggle to keep Him as Lord?
Has something else taken His place?
Maybe—just maybe—the trials and temptations of life have replaced Him.
Or perhaps the very things we prayed for—marriage, children, jobs, fame, or business—have slowly become idols seated in our hearts, displacing Him.
So I ask you:
Is Jesus still your Lord?
Or has He become the One standing at the door of your heart, knocking, waiting to be welcomed again as “my Lord”?
There can only be one Lord.
Will you choose Jesus today?
If the miracle delays, will you still wait for Him?
Will His promises still matter when everything becomes blurry?
Once again, will you ask Him to root you in Himself, so that every day, you will choose Him?
“Jesus, root me in You, so I can always find my way in You.”
Stay revived!
