                                                HE KNEW HER BY NAME PART III

After the crucifixion Jesus' Body was placed in a tomb and a big stone was placed in front of it. One of the women disciples named Mary Magdalene had seen all of that as Matthew tells us in Matthew 27:61

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

Early in the morning on the first day of the week this same Mary Magdalene returns to the tomb to take care of the Body of her Lord as you can read in John 20: 1

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

Mary Magdalene has gone to the tomb bringing with her all she needs to take care of her Lord's Body. She has not quite yet decided how she can remove the heavy stone from the tomb but she is fully confident that, once she get there, somehow she will be able to do so.
