GOD LOVES TO SURPRISE US
Max Lucado
The last few days had brought nothing but tragedy.
Mary Magdalene was there to hold her arm around the
shoulder of Mary the mother of Jesus.
She was there to close His eyes. And now she
takes her spices to His grave.
As she rounds the final bend, she gasps. The rock in
front of the grave is pushed back.
Someone has taken his body!
Then a man in
radiant white asks, “Why are you crying?”
An uncommon question in a cemetery.
She answers and
is asked again,“Why are you crying?”
Mary thinks the man is the gardener. He isn’t.
He is her Savior.
He doesn’t leave her wondering long, just long enough
to remind us that He loves to surprise us.
God is at his best when our lives are at their worst.
ABOUT MAX
Max Lucado – Biography
Lucado says he “writes books for people
who don’t read books.’ Even so, his best-selling books have sold 100 million
copies across 54 languages worldwide. Perhaps Lucado is converting non-readers
with his poetic storytelling and homespun humor. Perhaps readers can sense that
his encouraging words flow from the heart of a pastor.
Every trade book Max Lucado has written
during the last 30 years began as a sermon series for his home church Oak Hills
Church in San Antonio, Texas. Max presses every word of his sermons through
this sieve: Why would this matter on Monday morning? How can I relate the
promises of God to every person, wherever they are, regardless of the burdens
they carry?
