In this joyful Easter Sunday message, Pastor Cathal Duffy explores the transformative power of the resurrection as recorded in John 20 . The sermon focuses on the deeply personal moment when the risen Christ meets Mary Magdalene in her grief and calls her by name. Pastor Cathal highlights that while the empty tomb and neatly arranged grave clothes are historical evidence of a miracle, the true heart of Easter is a personal meeting with the living Jesus .
The message serves as a warm reminder that the "vision is Jesus" – the Good Shepherd who has triumphed over every broken thing in our past to give us a glorious future . Whether we are facing shattered dreams or the "darkness" of a difficult season, we are invited to hear His voice and respond with the same joyous certainty as Mary: "I have seen the Lord".
