Daniel Haskett - Transformation of Light

Visualization of biblical scenes is great way to dive into the bible and learn more about the context of the written text. Two weeks ago, in a bible study that I attend, we visualized Mary Magdalene in her pursuit to find Jesus after he had been raised from the dead. While the leader read the story aloud, we all closed our eyes and placed ourselves into the story.

When she approached the tomb the first time and found it empty, it was not yet light outside. As I visualized the scene this is something that became prominent to me. As she searched for Jesus everywhere the sun was rising the whole time, which could be seen as the Son rising? Jesus was everything to this women. He had cast out seven demons out of Mary before she came to know the Lord. Once she had searched high and low for him she ended up back at the tomb. After looking in the dark and empty tomb she heard familiar voice behind her as she turned around she found Jesus standing before her. She had turned her back on the darkness and the Son had risen!
