From Garden to Garden

As we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord, it's good to remember that name, “ The resurrection a the Life”, The name Jesus called Himself before He raised Lazarus. It’s also the very fitting name for the very one who restores on this easter Sunday. Mary Magdalene, as we know according to Johns gospel was the one to first be greeted by the Resurrected Christ. The interesting thing is that she didn’t recognize him but mistook Him for the Gardener. Little did she know just how right she was in that assumption. For we trace the original tilling of the ground as a job given to Adam, to properly steward Gods creation, to be a proper gardener. Yet Jesus, the Last Adam, restores the role of the gardener back to man through His perfect obedience. Let us draw near and accept this sacrifice and new life as our own, and with this hope we await the Garden to come.
