SERMON NOTES: The Dawn of a New Day John 20:1-18 The longest NIGHTS are the ones we are waiting to be over. Just before Easter’s dawn there was CHAOS. We may have yet to BELIEVE as Mary did. It is in the DARKEST of night that the light of Christ came. God is not in things made by HUMANS but in HUMANS created by God. Christ is Risen…Christ IS RISEN INDEED!
