Why Are You Crying? | Finding Joy In Jesus

In this inspiring sermon from the "Questions Jesus Asked" series, we explore Jesus' pivotal role in our spiritual life, using scriptures and key Biblical accounts like the story of Mary at the tomb, to underscore the profound implications of our relationship with Him. Join us as we contemplate the profound questions posed by Him, leading us to understand our religious paths in deeper, more intimate manners.

We dive into the theological reflections on Mary's relationship with Jesus and her reactions to His death, despite deep sorrow, and the inadvertent sharing of the news of His resurrection. The discussion prompts a profound question, "Who is Jesus to you," and how your interactions with Him shape your life during times of joy, crisis, or introspection.

The journey continues with Peter and John's experiences of Jesus's resurrection, bringing out the monumental change their personal encounters with Jesus brought about. The ability to share His word with the world brings forward the inspiring message of how our personal experiences with Jesus can deepen our faith and serve His word.

Underscoring Mary Magdalene's transformation at Jesus's tomb, this sermon takes the audience through her grief and her eventual acceptance of the resurrection. We explore her inability to initially recognize Jesus in her presence, her eventual recognition, and how the interaction dramatically changed her life. We invite each listener to grasp the potential transformative shift a personal encounter with Jesus can bring into their lives.
