“Magdalene thought Jesus was the gardener … because Jesus was the gardener. Think about it. Why wouldn’t Jesus be the gardener? Isn’t it natural that the Jesus who was born as an Illegal migrant and quickly became a refugee should first appear as a day laborer? But even Magdalene, who had been erased and dismissed and treated as a “just another woman” even just minutes before by the male disciples, fell into the trap of only looking for Jesus in a comfortable, familiar form. That’s how easy it is for all of us.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:15 a.m. on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Psalm 18:2-11, 16-19 and John 20:1-18. Watch the sermon on YouTube. Read the text of the sermon here.
