The Surprise Awaiting 2 John 20: 1, 2, 15, 16

Read the passage John 20


v.1 1. Troubling events mar spiritual liberty.
(The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet
  dark, unto the sepulcher,)

2. Spiritual loyalty is expressed with fade and hope
(unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.)

v.1 3. Spiritual fellowship is based on only memory.
Jesus is gone seemingly.

v.1 4. The seeming certainty of a dead relationship is met with renewed
  opportunity.

v.1,  5. There is truth to believe, but doubt is a persistent enemy
  2 (and seeth the stone taken away) (we know not where they have laid Him.)

v.11,6. Believers with lost hope are victimized by much sorrow.  
  15 (But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping:)(Jesus saith unto her, 
Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?)

v.16 7. Sorrow is turned to joy by the reality of truth's immortality and eternal life.
(Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself,and saith unto Him, 
Rabboni; which is to say, Master.)
