John 20:17. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father:
"There will be time enough for the fellowship your heart craves:" -
John 20:17. But go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Practical service is better than personal rapture. Mary would fain have held her Lord, but he says to her, "Go to my brethren." You will always find that it is best and safest to do what Jesus tells you, when he tells you, and as he tells you. What a delightful message is this from the risen Christ! "Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."
