John 20:11-13 says, “But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.’” Mary Magdalene weeps outside the tomb because she “did not know the Scripture” (v. 9). The angels aren’t weeping; they’re on mission. Mary weeps because she is overcome by the past that fogs her future and paralyzes her present. How often does our past do the same to us? Missionary Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) said, “The future is as bright as the promises of God.” Let’s be like the angels on mission today.
