13 Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

John 20:15-17

Within the whole context of that previous sermon, we found a couple of things as food for thought clues from God’s Word starting with the simple phrase in the middle of John 20:15 “She, supposing Him to be the gardener, . . .” Within that phrase, was God’s still small voice telling us Christ was holding the first of the barley harvest that represented His own role as the first of the firstfruits?

The second, although perhaps more obscure lesson that we considered within the overall context of that sermon perhaps was attention drawn to holding a sheaf of grain, like a gardener, to show His own work in all He does to produce the magnificently beautiful garden as was intended from the beginning! He is the Gardner that will bring order and beauty back from the ugly chaotic disorder that sin has brought down on all mankind, as we are vividly witnessing these days of rage and war!
