We know a lot about God. We know about the parting of the Red Sea. We know about blind eyes open, deaf ears unstopped, and healings. We know about blessing and provision and making a way when there is no way. In our text, Mary went to the tomb to find Jesus, but he was not there. He appeared standing behind her, but she did not know Him. She should have recognized Him. He was still God, but she did not recognize Him. Job knew God, but at some point, he looked around and could not see Him. God was there, but Job did not recognize what God was doing. We know God. We know that God can do all the things in the opening sentences of this text, but sometimes He does not. He is still God. Mary should have recognized Jesus, but she did not. The cross was brutal. The last time she had seen Jesus, he was bloodied on the cross and in agony. She had watched them take Him down from the cross and lay him in the tomb as a bloody pulp. She knew that God, but she did not know the resurrected God. Just because we do not recognize what God is doing, does not mean that He is not working on our behalf. Mary did not recognize Him because He had a resurrected body. Standing in front of her was the fulfillment of over 300 prophecies about the coming of the Messiah. She was looking the Jesus that had walked the earth for three and a half years, but now He was the God that reached across was pulling all of the prophecies into the present. He was not the same God that she had known. We may have known God in a different time. Perhaps we once felt closer to God, or used of God, or led by God, but now we do not. God is the same. It is we who have changed. God is still there. He is still working on our behalf, even if we cannot see it. Like Mary and Job, we must get to a place where we can recognize Him again. We have to rediscover the God that we do not know.
