Resurrection Apperances – Part Three – Mary Magdalene

Our highest hope is embodied in Jesus’s prayer: ‘Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’ These words remind us that God’s Kingdom is not a distant future but present reality, calling us into discipleship.As Luke Timothy Johnson writes, the Church is to be ‘a sacrament of the world’s possibility.
