Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher. John 20.16.



Have we ever heard this voice that Mary heard? If we ever hear this voice—“Mary”—when we pray in our closet, we shall be satisfied. As soon as the Lord said “Mary” she recognized Him right away. This is a revelation. It is enough if the Lord would say but one word. As the shepherd calls his sheep, the eyes of the sheep open immediately. When Mary heard the Lord’s voice, she knew instantly that this was not the gardener, but the Teacher. She therefore had no need to weep any more. Whenever the Lord reveals himself to a person, no further words need to be said. Do we, like Mary, recognize the voice of our Lord?
