“Raised Thrice”
Mary raised God’s Son. In a place below the angel yet well-above ground, she communed with God. Mary fed her Savior the pure, unadulterated milk from within, not without; unaware, perhaps, she too was supping. Unaware she had birthed a living host.
Not long after, and for some, not soon enough, God’s Son was raised again. This time, by strangers. Filled by an inner, unseen darkness of a different kind, these men leavened Christ to a place even higher. Where from there - below her Savior, beneath her Son’s two bound feet, a magnificently common Mary wept a different sort of tear. The moment she did, joy came into mourning.
Weak, bloodied, and gasping out the breath He purged to resuscitate man; God’s simultaneous invitation wed Christ’s offering of thanksgiving. We were found, because He bled.

About this Plan
Jesus wasn’t lent. He was given. Which means, Here is why Easter doesn’t begin with Good Friday, but Bethlehem. Here is why Jesus is not conditioned by the rules you keep, but you are positioned by those He kept perfectly. Here is why death is forever defeated and you can walk the pages of God’s Word with washed feet. Here is why you are rising, even now as you read, and resurrection doesn’t culminate on Sundays. Here is Christ. Jesus is the Here I AM.
