Jesus spoke, and immediately she knew it was Jesus. This is how it works in the hearts of believers. When the Holy Spirit opens our eyes and hearts to the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, then we see Jesus. We do not see Him as a historical figure or as a legend, but like Mary saw here in the garden. We see Him as the risen Lord sent by the Father to die for our sins. He is arisen and ascended to the Father in power and in glory. Praise God that He has loved us enough to give us Jesus and has opened our eyes to see Him.
