She ran and told them

When Jesus called her name, she was both surprised and confused since she saw him pass away and watched as they laid him down in the tomb.
I can’t imagine any of us would be not feeling the same feelings.
It would be a mixture of emotions and feelings.
She knew and remembered how he would say her name.
He probably said it to her, many times in the years they knew each other.
It is an intimate approach for him, towards her in the most ‘precious’ way.
We are like that with special loved ones or friends.
We welcome the sound of their voice.
He knew by using her name in the special way he would say it, he would get her attention.
Can you even imagine… her excitement and hope?
Then he said for her to go tell the ‘others’ about what she had seen and experienced.
She would be a credible witness and others would hear and believe her story.
What I find fascinating is her ability to not recognize him until the timing was right.
He didn’t allow her to see him for who he was until she heard his voice.
She was the one who had demons cast out of her so she knew his voice and she knew his power.
Our voices are very recognizable to those who know us.
John 20:
[11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb
12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”
14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.*** (important)
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.
Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!”
And she told them that he had said these things to her.]
She ran and told them what she had seen.
