John 20:11-18

In this passage it seems as though the disciples aren't completely sure what to make of it all. They return home but Mary stays. As she is weeping, she runs into somebody. She thinks that people stole the body. She doesn't realize at first that it is Jesus talking to her. She realizes it when he says her name. It's crazy that she could have this whole conversation with him but not realize it was him. But I guess it's not your average occurrence to talk to people that are supposed to be dead. Wonder if we ever go on talking without realizing who we're really talking to. I guess Jesus still listens but maybe he'd be slightly disappointed if we never realize. Maybe this is the state of some of our prayers. If we recognize who we were really talking to then we'd have a testimony of something to share.
