The Twelve were with him,\u201d \u202d\u202dLuke\u202c \u202d8:1\u202c \u202dCSB\u202c   She was at the cross when Jesus was killed    \u201cMany women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and looked after him were there, watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee\u2019s sons.\u201d \u202d\u202dMatthew\u202c \u202d27:55-56\u202c \u202dCSB\u202c\u202c She saw Jesus laid in the tomb    \u201cMary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.\u201d \u202d\u202dMatthew\u202c \u202d27:61\u202c \u202dCSB\u202c\u202c   She was the first to experience the resurrection    \u201cEarly on the first day of the week, after he had risen, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.\u201d \u202d\u202dMark\u202c \u202d16:9\u202c \u202dCSB\u202c\u202c . \u201cJust then Jesus met them and said, \u201cGreetings!\u201d They came up, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus told them, \u201cDo not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.\u201d\u201d \u202d\u202dMatthew\u202c \u202d28:9-10 . So her faith had to be on fire. She witnessed both the death and resurrection of Christ.  .   What we learn from Mary Magdalene:   We are to support the work of Christ. Women should have a role in ministry and sharing the gospel. We can witness the gospel by spending time with Jesus.  We can watch from the distance of our laps as we read His Word. We can see that evidence of His resurrection in the Holy Spirit that he has left for us.  We can wait patiently at the foot and worship as we wait to see Him on that glorious day.  ","author_name":"GloriBites","author_url":"http:\/\/www.gloribites.com","html":"
