THE MESSAGE:

Mary Magdalene was one of the women that followed and supported Jesus’ ministry when He was here on earth. She was called Mary Magdalene to differentiate her from other Mary who also followed Jesus in His life time. She was from the City of Magdala hence the name, Mary Magdalene. She was one of the early followers of Jesus Christ and certainly deserves to be called a disciple. Mary Magdalene was the woman out of whom Jesus cast out seven demons (Mark 16:9). She was also the first person to discover the empty tomb and see Jesus after the Resurrection. Mary Magdalene used all resources in her possession to serve and support the ministry of Jesus Christ in appreciation of all that the Lord had done for her. As Christians, we can borrow a leaf from the life and dispositions of Mary Magdalene who engaged everything at her disposal to serve the Lord.

Jesus Christ wants us to use our lives, wealth and every material possession to propagate the Gospel and populate the kingdom of God. When we do this, we are only showing our appreciation for all He has done for us: Our salvation from sin, deliverance from the power of darkness and all His goodness over our lives. Mary Magdalene followed Jesus everywhere He went, so we must be available to follow Jesus everywhere He leads us.

PRAYER: Lord, make me available for Your service at all times, in Jesus’ name. (Amen).
