Fear of Hope
Fear of Hope
by Derek Hegsted
Feeling the desperation of the loss of Christ's
body, Mary lingered at the tomb. She drew close the piece
of linen, her only link to Christ, the cloth that enveloped
the torn and abused body of her best friend, her Savior.
She was moored to it, as if it were the only thing to keep
her alive, as if it had a comforting force. She could control
the fierce pain no longer, and wept for the incredible loss.
Then a voice said to her, "Woman, why weepest thou?" Thinking
in earthly logic and casting aside the feeling of a familiar
voice, she said, "Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell
me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away."
With a tender voice he uttered but one word, "Mary." Joy
swelling within her, she turned to the light, fearing to
hope when it seemed "It cannot be."
Because of a woman's nature, Christ chose Mary Magdalene
as the first witness of the resurrection. This painting
is my tribute to women. |
