Twelve Extraordinary Women
Mary Magdalene
Mark 16:9
Her background (Jesus drove out 7 demons from her)
What is a demon-possessed life like?
- miserable, no hope of being cured
- outcast of society
Seven demons -- Why seven?
- Luke 11:24-26 (how eveil spirits work)
- Luke 8:1-2
Devoted follower of Jesus -- She even followed him to the cross (John 19:25). She know where Jesus' body was buried. John 19:38-42 (hasty preparation of His body before the Sabbath). Mark 15:47-16:2 (She made sure that He was given a proper and respected burial).
John 20:1-18
verses 1-9
- "we" (verse 2) -- Mark 16:1
- linen was folded -- sign that the tomb was not robbed.
- She was anxious -- went before sunrise
Luke 24:9-12
The diciples don't understand
verses 10:18
- do not hold on to Him -- still sinful? task not done yet; do not cling, not do no touch
- John 10:3 -- He calls His people by name, and they know His voice
- she was the first to see him after he resurrected -- EXTRAORDINARY!! why? her faithfulness, her devotion (verse 15)
-"my father, your father, my God, your God" (verse 17) -- good news of reconciliation
Application:
What has God saved you from in your past, or how is He working in your life? How have you responded, or how should you respond?
