Mary Magdalene mistook the Risen Lord for a gardener until He exclaimed her name. Jesus counts anyone who does the Father’s will as family and knows us by name. Teaching from a boat for people on shore, the Lord told a parable of seed scattered on all kinds of ground. The story teaches the importance of receptiveness to His Word. When the mother of James and John wanted Jesus’ assurance that her sons would sit beside Him as King, the Lord told all Twelve of the Disciples that servants rank highest in heaven. Why do we set ourselves apart, when the Lord desires oneness?
