Chapter 8

Go Tell the Others

THERE was a moment when a deeply grief-stricken woman was wandering about in the half-light or dawn looking for the body of the man _ . she loved. The things that she had witnessed done to him had been bad enough, but now to her tortured mind it seemed that his body was not allowed to rest in peace. Suddenly a voice spoke to her, "Mary." Oh the joy, the intense relief there is in her one cry of response, "Rabboni" She knew that voice, as she knew no other! So here we see the first instructions given in a new era - and they were given to a woman! "Go, tell the others." How her feet would fly to meet the others, and how breathlessly she would give them the news! No matter that they only half believed. She knew! She had been the first to see the Lord alive! What a wonderful privilege Mary was given. How she would talk, and talk, and talk to everyone who would listen! There are listening ears around us today. Do we talk to them? We have been privileged to have Him speak to us, and to call us out from the world tobecome His sisters. Should not sisters, then, make the most of their opportunity, and "go and tell?"-- EG


 

What do we do, each of us, if "one asketh us a reason concerning the hope that is in us". Do we say, "I will bring you a leaf/et about that"? Do we say, "I should like you to meet Brother Dot or Sister Dash, who know a lot more about this than i do"? Do we simply change the subject? Or do we tell them?
