Meeting the Gardener
Talk by Sam Corry
Series: Lent 2019
Today we get to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. But we do so every year against the backdrop of acknowledging the ongoing brokenness in our world, and the frustration, pain, fear and even grief in our lives. For Mary Magdalene, at the tomb, it was precisely her grief, brokenness and tears that kept at the tomb and brought her face to face with the Gardener.
