Title: The Faith of Mary Magdalene
Contents:
Among the 120 people in Mark's upper room, where the Holy Spirit came upon the early church, there were several women.
According to Paul's Acts, most of his ministry was helped by women. Even now, in the church, starting with the dirty work, almost all of the women members are active in devotions large and small. Among them, I would like to introduce the woman who served Jesus like a limb, who was closest to Jesus. Interestingly, Jesus had a lot of women around him named Mary. Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary of Bethany, and Mary from Magdalene, who was possessed by the seven demons in the text.
So what kind of woman was Mary Magdalene and what faith did she have?
She was a garbage woman who had been cast out by seven demons, but she was healed by the grace of Jesus.
She had a truly miserable life. But after meeting Jesus, she became the most virtuous woman. We too can love Jesus the most. We too can be healed and renewed by the grace of Jesus Christ. No matter who you were in the past, if you are in Christ, you become a new creation.
He served as an evangelist commando and helper of Jesus Christ.
He devoted himself by following Jesus like a shadow in the book of Acts of Ecclesiastes. Mary Magdalene lived a life of gratitude because the grace of the Lord was so great, and she devoted herself while sharing the grace she received. He served and served many things necessary for the gospel ministry of the Lord. There are many ways for believers to serve the Lord and participate in the gospel ministry. It is about running, evangelizing, and serving on the front line. It is a constant support from behind with material prayers. If you have received grace from the Lord, you should focus on saving lives and serve with the heart of a debtor.
Mary Magdalene lived by faith following Jesus to the end.
Golgotha followed the cross of the Lord the closest. Most of the disciples were afraid and frightened and ran away and followed the Lord at a distance, but Mary followed to the cross. Early in the morning we went to the tomb of Jesus. Mary Magdalene followed Jesus to the tomb and checked it.
In the end, Mary Magdalene tasted the glory of being the first to meet the resurrected Lord.
This is because Mary Magdalene, who loved and followed the Lord more than her own life, experienced the love of Jesus abundantly. Today, we too want to love and follow the Lord who bore the cross with the heart of the cross. If you love you can take up the cross, but if you don't love you can never take up the cross.
