Complete

By: Gabriela Yareliz

It was a bright morning, and Mary Magdalene walked to the sepulcher, in a hurry, with a heavy heart to find the tomb where they had laid Jesus.

As she walks two angels appear to her (John 20:12), but she is distracted by another presence. It is Jesus himself.

He says to her, “Mary,” and she then recognizes He is the one she has been looking for, (John 20: 16).

That is Jesus. He said “Mary.”

“He who knows eternity, calls you by name,” Ravi Zacharias.

Ravi Zacharias tells this parable: There was a very poor man, if I remember the story correctly, who paints a portrait of a very rich man’s son. At one point, he no longer sees this young man who he was fond of and so finally someone shares with him that he had died suddenly, and that his art collection would be up for auction.

This beggar man finds some decent clothes and goes to the auction. When it comes time for the portrait of the son, of course he bids for it and bids all that he has. No one bids against him, so he gives his pennies and goes up to get his portrait.

The thing is there was a second condition. The person who buys the portrait of the son gets the son’s entire art collection.

He who has the Son, has everything.

Colossians 2:10 says: And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

He completes us.

Have a blessed day.
