GOSPEL READING: JOHN 20:11-18

Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And this is what most of the followers do. They stay outside the tomb and weep. They do not enter into the tomb. They do not see the empty tomb. Emptiness for them is negative. It is frightening. It only triggers tear from the person. Emptiness outside (tomb) creates emptiness inside them.

Emptiness here was a place of revelation (the angels said that he is risen). Empty tomb said that Jesus was outside the tomb. In fact he was standing outside the tomb. We see what we want to see. Revelation makes us see what we should see; in fact revelation reveals the reality, the truth.

இயல்பாக கல்லறையில்; இறந்த உடலை காணச்செல்வர் (மரியாவும் அப்படித்தான் உடலைக் காணாததால் அழுகிறாள்). அவள் கண்ணால் காண்பது வெறுமை. ஆனால் வெளிப்பாடு வெளிப்படுத்துவது முழுமை> நிறைவு> உயிர்ப்பு.
