Jarrett Stephens teaches from John 20:1–18 in a message called "Jesus is Hope." On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection not as a distant event but as a living hope that meets us personally. Mary Magdalene, a woman with a broken past, was the first to encounter the risen Savior and the first to hear him speak her name.Jarrett shows how Jesus brings hope from our past, no matter what shame we carry. He brings hope in our present, calling us by name in our grief and despair. And he brings hope for our future, because his physical resurrection secures eternal life with God. Hope is not wishful thinking. It is a person, and his name is Jesus.
