The Greatest Love Story Ever

GospelJN 20:1A AND 2-8

On the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we do not know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
and the cloth that had covered his head,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.

On a side note, I fractured my wrist while snowboarding with the boys.  Still trying to figure out how to type with a forearm cast that doesn't allow me to pronate.  Will need to keep my posts short and sweet.

So today's gospel reading is really not a part of the advent story.  It's the empty tomb story that we typically hear during the Easter season.  So I am to reflect on the 3 most important events to Christians: the birth and death of Jesus and His resurection.  That's a lot to comprehend!  Woven into these stories is God's love for us - for me.  That He loves us enough to become one of us and die for us.  What a statement about how much we mean to Him. Truly a love story like no other!
