This Easter Sunday, Ryan Murphy brings a message from John 20 titled "I Have Seen the Lord." Drawing from Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Jesus at the empty tomb, Ryan unpacks what the resurrection means not just as a historical event, but as a living reality that changes everything — identity, pain, purpose, and the future of the world.Walking through the disciples' sprint to the tomb, Mary's weeping outside it, and her stunning face-to-face encounter with the risen Christ, this message meets people exactly where they are — whether they come in celebration or in tears. Ryan makes clear that the resurrection isn't only for those who have it together. There had to be a cross before there was an empty tomb, and there had to be weeping before there was a name spoken in a garden.The sermon moves through four resurrection realities: that we have a new identity — loved by God regardless of what we do, have, or what others think; that God sees our tears and walks with us in our pain rather than rushing us out of it; that new creation has begun and everything broken in the first garden is being made right in this one; and that we have been commissioned — like Mary, the first evangelist — as ambassadors of that new creation, sent into our city to announce that Jesus is alive.Ultimately, this is an invitation to see him. Whether for the first time, or again after a long season away, Jesus is still in the business of proving himself alive — in healing, in freedom, in joy that can't be explained. The question Ryan leaves the room with is simple: have you seen him?
