TEXT: John 20:10-16
KJV:Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

KJV:And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
KJV:And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
KJV:And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
KJV:Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
KJV:Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master

MESSAGE
The Disciples sought for Jesus. It seems he wasn't there but he was there. They couldn't wait . They decided to go home. The disciples sought the dead Jesus while the resurrected Jesus was there. It is impossible to see the ressurected Jesus when you are finding the dead Jesus.

The disciples were pressing the wrong button with the goal of opening the right door. The right button to press in order to find the resurrected Jesus is to wait. When men are in hurry, they will always find the dead Jesus.

Beloved, have you concluded that Jesus is not there? Then you might be pressing the wrong button. Complaining is a wrong button. Being anxious for nothing is a wrong button. Being in a hurry is a wrong button. Unbelief is a wrong button.
"But Mary stood". In your time of waiting, you will know the right button to push .

ACTION POINT: Not every closed door is locked. Push! Push!! Push!!!

PRAYER POINT: Lord help me wait and not be in a hurry in Jesus name.
Amen
