Easter He is Risen | John 20:11-18

In this Easter Sunday meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with John 20:11–18 and the first resurrection encounter: “I have seen the Lord.” Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ—the day death was defeated and hope was restored. John’s Gospel brings us into a tender and personal moment. Mary Magdalene stands outside the empty tomb weeping. The stone has been rolled away. The body is gone. The disciples have already left, confused and uncertain. Mary stays. She sees angels. She sees Jesus. But at first, she does not recognize Him. Then He speaks her name: “Mary.” And everything changes. In that single word, grief turns to recognition. Despair gives way to joy. The impossible becomes reality. In this guided Scripture meditation, you are invited to step into the garden with Mary. Through slow readings of John 20:11–18, you will be guided to reflect on the meaning of the resurrection, celebrate the hope we have in Christ, and consider how this life-changing truth invites you to move forward. The resurrection is not only an event to remember. It is a reality to live in. Because Jesus is risen:We are restored.We are made new.We are invited into abundant life. He is risen—and that changes everything. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

It was Jesus, but she didn’t recognize him.  15 “Dear woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.” 16 “Mary!” Jesus said. She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”). 17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she gave them his message.   Today’s meditation music entitled Crowned, was generously provided by Simon Wester.

In this Holy Saturday meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Psalm 130: “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,and in His word I put my hope.” Holy Saturday—sometimes called Silent Saturday—is the day between the crucifixion and the resurrection. Scripture tells us very little about this day. Jesus’s body lay in the tomb. The disciples were scattered. Grief, confusion, and doubt must have filled the air. It must have felt like hope had been buried. And yet… God was still at work. Holy Saturday reminds us that there are moments in our own lives that feel unfinished. Prayers unanswered. Healing delayed. Restoration not yet visible. We find ourselves in the in-between space—waiting. Psalm 130 gives language to that waiting. It begins with a cry from the depths. It acknowledges our need for mercy and forgiveness. And it ends with a declaration of hope: “I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.” In this guided Scripture meditation, you are invited to bring your own silent Saturday before God. Through slow readings of Psalm 130, you will be guided to cry out honestly, remember God’s forgiveness, and renew your hope as you wait. Holy Saturday teaches us that silence does not mean absence. Waiting does not mean God is inactive. Resurrection may not yet be visible—but it is coming. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

In this Good Friday meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Jesus’s final words in John 19:28–30: “It is finished.” Good Friday is the most somber day on the Christian calendar. It is the day we remember that Jesus was crucified—that He endured rejection, humiliation, suffering, and death. It would be easier to skip ahead to Easter. We know how the story ends. But there is no resurrection without the cross. John tells us that Jesus knew His mission was now finished. After enduring the full weight of the crucifixion, He declared, “It is finished,” bowed His head, and gave up His spirit. These are not words of defeat.They are words of completion.Of fulfillment.Of love carried all the way through. The cross exposes the cost of sin—but it also reveals the depth of God’s mercy. In this guided Scripture meditation, you are invited to sit at the cross, to reflect on Jesus’s final words, and to allow gratitude to rise in your heart. Through several slow readings of John 19:28–30, you will be guided to listen, reflect, respond, and rest—holding both the weight of this day and the hope that we know is coming. Good Friday reminds us that salvation was not accidental. It was accomplished. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

In this Maundy Thursday meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Jesus’s words in John 18:1–8: “I AM He.” This moment takes place in the garden, just hours before the cross. The Passover meal has been shared. Jesus has washed His disciples’ feet. He has given them a new command—to love one another as He has loved them. After singing a hymn, they make their way to the Mount of Olives. And then the soldiers arrive. Torches.Lanterns.Weapons. John tells us that Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, stepped forward and asked, “Who is it you want?” When they answered, “Jesus of Nazareth,” He replied, “I AM He.” At His words, they drew back and fell to the ground. This is not a frightened man being seized in the dark. This is Jesus, fully aware, fully surrendered, and fully in control. He does not hide. He does not run. He steps forward. In this guided Scripture meditation, you are invited to enter the garden through prayerful imagination. Through several slow readings of John 18:1–8, you will be guided to notice the scene, reflect on Jesus’s willing surrender, and rest in the truth that His sacrificial love was intentional. Maundy Thursday reminds us that love is not passive. It steps forward. It surrenders. It trusts the Father, even in the dark. As we prepare our hearts for Good Friday, we pause here—at the edge of the cross—remembering that Jesus went willingly. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

On the other side there was a garden,and he and his disciples went into it. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. 4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” 5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he.

In this Holy Week prayer, we pause to reflect on one of Jesus’s clearest and most powerful declarations about who He is. In John 8:56–59, Jesus says, “Before Abraham was even born, I AM.” With these words, He reveals what has been true from the beginning—that He is God. Eternal. Uncreated. The One who existed before time and entered into it for us. This short midweek prayer invites you to slow down and worship Jesus as the great I AM. We take time to praise Him for His divinity and to reflect on what it means that the One who will go to the cross is not merely a teacher or prophet, but God Himself. We also pray for those we love who do not yet recognize Him as Lord, asking that their hearts would be opened to see Him clearly. As we move closer to the cross and prepare for Easter, may this truth steady your heart: Jesus is God, and He is worthy of our worship. Take a few quiet minutes to pray along and reflect on who He is.

As we enter Holy Week, we pause with one of the most direct and striking declarations Jesus ever made. In this seventh meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we reflect on Jesus’s words in John 8:56–59:“Before Abraham was, I AM.” Throughout this series, we have considered the familiar “I am” statements—images and metaphors that reveal Jesus as bread, light, shepherd, gate, and vine. But this moment is different. Here, Jesus is not offering a picture. He is making a claim. Speaking to religious leaders who questioned His authority, Jesus identifies Himself with the very name of God revealed in Exodus. The people listening understood exactly what He was saying. They believed He had committed blasphemy, and they responded by picking up stones. This is a turning point. Jesus does not leave room to be understood merely as a good teacher or wise prophet. He clearly declares His divinity. This guided Scripture meditation invites you to sit with this scene and reflect on what it means that Jesus is fully God and fully man. Through several slow readings of John 8:56–59, you will be guided to listen, imagine the moment, respond honestly, and rest in the truth of who He is. As Holy Week begins, we are reminded that it is because of who Jesus is that the cross matters. It is because of who He is that the resurrection brings salvation and hope. Lent prepares us to celebrate Easter with clarity and conviction. Jesus is not simply part of the story. He is the I AM. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

Fruitfulness doesn’t begin with striving. It begins with remaining. In this short midweek prayer, we return to Jesus’s words in John 15, where He says, “I am the true vine… you are the branches.” This guided Christian prayer invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reflect on what it means to abide in Christ. Jesus reminds us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We are not responsible for manufacturing spiritual fruit on our own. Our role is to remain—connected to the Vine, trusting the Father as the Gardener, and allowing Him to prune what no longer serves His purposes in our lives. Pruning can feel uncomfortable. But it is never careless. It is always loving and purposeful, leading toward deeper growth and greater fruitfulness. Take a few quiet minutes today to rest in this truth: your responsibility is to remain. The fruit is His work.

No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.5 “I am the vine; you are the branches.

As Lent continues, Jesus invites us to consider where true life and growth actually come from. In this sixth meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Jesus’s words in John 15:“I am the true vine.” Spoken on the night before His arrest, this image comes from the conversation in the upper room where Jesus is preparing His disciples for what is ahead. He knows they will face confusion, grief, and uncertainty. And instead of giving them a strategy for survival, He gives them a picture of connection. He is the vine.We are the branches.And apart from Him, we can do nothing. Jesus also reminds us that the Father is the gardener—the One who tends, cares for, and prunes the vine. While pruning can sound painful or unsettling, it is never careless. It is purposeful. It is loving. It is meant to produce even more fruit. This guided Scripture meditation invites you to reflect on what it means to remain in Christ—to abide, to stay connected, to make your home in Him. Through slow readings of John 15:1–2, 4–5, you will be guided to listen, reflect, respond, and rest—allowing Jesus to remind you that fruitfulness flows from closeness, not striving. Lent reminds us that abundant life is not something we manufacture on our own. It grows naturally as we remain rooted in the One who is the source of life.

When our hearts feel troubled, Jesus invites us to trust Him again. This short midweek prayer creates space to pause, breathe deeply, and return to Jesus’s words in John 14:1–6, where He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” In this guided prayer, we acknowledge the places where worry, uncertainty, or longing have unsettled our hearts and bring them honestly before God. Jesus reminds us that we are not alone—that He is with us, that He is preparing a place for us, and that He will return for us. As we pray, we ask for help to trust Him more deeply and to follow Him in the way He has already made clear: to love God fully and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Take a few quiet minutes to slow down, listen for God’s invitation, and rest in the presence of the One who leads us in truth and life.

In this fifth meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Jesus’s words in John 14:1–6:“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Jesus speaks these words on the night before His arrest. The disciples are gathered in an upper room, sensing that something is wrong but not fully understanding what is coming. Fear, confusion, and grief are already beginning to settle in. Into that moment, Jesus does not offer explanations or timelines. He offers comfort, presence, and promise. He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled.He invites them to trust.And He reminds them that He is preparing a place for them—and that He will come back for them. When Thomas admits that he does not know the way, Jesus responds with clarity and compassion. He does not point to a path. He points to Himself. He is the way we follow, the truth we hold onto, and the life that sustains us. This guided Scripture meditation invites you to bring your own uncertainty, questions, or unsettled places before God. Through several slow readings of John 14:1–6, you will be guided to listen, reflect, respond, and rest—allowing Jesus’s promise to steady your heart and remind you that you are not walking alone. Lent reminds us that when the way forward feels unclear, Jesus remains near. He goes before us, prepares a place for us, and faithfully leads us home.
