Rabboni- My Teacher- a New way of Knowing HIM

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 11Apr2025

Reference Scripture: Jn 20:11-18

RABBONI - My Teacher- a New way of Knowing HIM.

Mary Magdalene encounters the resurrected Jesus, in fact very first one who recognised the resurrected Jesus. She followed Jesus faithfully after HE casted 7 demons out of her (Lk 8:2). It gave her more zeal on Him as she received a lot! She supported the Jesus Ministry. she stood near cross when the apostles fled or hid. she watched where JESUS was buried.

Mary got up the morning after the Sabbath and went to the tomb to anoint Jesus's body. She found the tomb empty, with the stone rolled away.

She reported the news to Peter and John, they came and saw the empty tomb, however they left. But Mary stayed behind, was weeping and asking herself, did someone had stolen the body? She asked disciples, we do not know where they have put Jesus Body?. She asked angels, I do not know where they have put Him. She asked asked Jesus himself (:)), If you have taken His body away, please tell me so I can go and get Him. She kept on asking until she had that personal enablement. The Bible says that She gained all her faith one last time, stooped down into the tomb, to her surprise, she saw something that Peter and John missed..

Jesus appears to her and asks, "Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" She thought Jesus was the gardener. But when He called her name, Mary, the familiar voice brought spontaneous joy to her spirit. She burst out in cries and shouted, "RABBONI!" It was an intimate and worshipful. 

RABBONI - MY TEACHER

She become First witness of the RISEN JESUS. She tried to grab Him- but Jesus politely mentioned do not cling to me now? But Go and Tell the brothers, they are no more disciples, a new relationship through HIS resurrection. I am ascending to My Father, My God, who is also Your Father, your God. She become a great witness and recognised a new Purpose to GO and TELL to the chosen the following headlines... 

  • Grief to Joy - Not rejection but re-direction.
  • Intimacy to Declaration, by taking an extra leap
  • Personally received a great commission- become an apostle to the apostles. Jesus is Ascending (Message1), I saw the Master (Message2), Told everything Jesus Said to her (Message3). Jesus gifted her a wonderful assignment.

The Scripture says in Jn 20:9, JESUS WOULD RISE TO LIFE. Let us Worship by embracing HIM as Risen LORD!. Let us inherit the Model of Ministry from this context, begin with intimacy with HIM and then being sent to others. Our assured eternal future is highlighted by JESUS by having this encounter with Mary to all of us as a redirection to new relationship, Disciples to Brothers till HE returns OR call us Home with HIM forever. Hallelujah.

God does everything for a reason and on purpose. In Jewish culture, women kept behind, but Jesus used Mary to be the first to see Him after Raising from the Dead, to have a very close revelation, to carry a ROYAL Message. JESUS Revealed her a new way of knowing Him. HE STILL DOES. Can we experience Him in this season more personally? A Spiritual intimacy far greater than what eye can see and hand can hold. Amen.

In the morning's quiet Grace, Mary sought the tomb's embrace,
RABBONI, she cried in tears, as Jesus' voice dispelled her fears.
From sorrow to joy, her heart did soar,
First witness to the risen Lord.
Her faith unwavering, message clear,
Easter's hope, forever near.

Peace be Upon the State of the Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Great weekend and Happy Palm Sunday in advance.

In His Grip.

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
