—Mary Magdalene, Saved and Serving.
j' 1. Mary Baved (Luke 8:1, 2).
While Jesus and His disciples were
preaching throughout the villages of
CalUee, Mary and certain other wom
ien heard the good news of salvation
and were saved. Evil spirits were cast
out of them. Mary had been possessed
with seven demons. The number seven
Indicates the completeness of her af
fliction. Bodily affliction usually ac
companied demon possession. . Doctor
Erdmon says: "It Is a cruel error to
confuse Mary Magdalene with the sin
ful woman of whom Luke has Just
been writing. Mary had suffered from
demon possession, as here stated, but
there Is nothing to the gospels to Indi
cate that she had ever been a woman
of notoriously evil life.” So wide
spread is this false Impression that
tnany rescue homes for fallen women
are named unjustly, "Magdalene,”
11. Mary Ministering (Luke 8:8).
She, with certain women who had
been saved from Satan's power, out of
a heart of gratitude looked after the
comfort of the Lord and HU disciples.
These women must have been In easy
circumstances, as they were able to
boy food and other necessities and,
doubtless, lodging for Jesus and HU
disciples. These women were the fore
runners of that large company of saved
women who have throughout the Chris
tian centuries been ministering to the
Lord through kindness to His minis
ters. How poor would be this world
Without the ministry of godly women.
111. Mary's Steadfastness (John Id:
25).
After the men and dtsclplca had for
saken the Lord a group of faithful
women remained at the cross, among
whom was Mary Magdalene. Others
lingered, prompted by natural affec
tion, but she lingered out of grateful
love for salvation from Satan’s bond
age.
IV. Mary at the Empty Tomb (John
20:11-18).
1, Mistaken Tears Ql-1$). She had
come to the tomb to wctspi.'and to pay
respect to the body of her Lord. She
was weeping over what she regarded
as a tragic loss. In spite of her love
and faith, she was In a state of con
fusion. If she had known what was
revealed to her a short time afterward,
ahe would not have thus , wept She
was weeping because the tomb was
empty, when the real cause for weep
ing would have been the Lord’s body
In the tomb. How many times we
break our hearts over misunderstand
ing. The fact that a living body had
walked out of the tomb Instead of the
dead body In It should have occasioned
rejoicing. The empty tomb is the
Christian’s ground for hope.
! 2. The Unrecognized Master (vv. 14,
15).
1 She was within sight of the living
Lord, yet mourning for Him. Let us
look In the right direction and we shall
have our sorrows turned Into Joys. The
reason she did not recognize the Lord
was that He did not appear as she
'thought He should. Many times our
preconceived notions prevent us from
seeing Jesus.
8. Restrained Familiarity (w. 16,
17).
The full meaning of Jesus’ words
when he forbade Mary to touch Him
perhaps we cannot surely know. The
difficulty doubtless Inhered In Mary’s
misunderstanding. She seomed to think
that the same relations Instituted be
fore the resurrection could be re
sumed. He showed her that He was
ascehdtog Into glory and that He
should henceforth receive divine -wor
ship.
4. Mary Telling the Good News of
thd Resurrection (vv. 17, 18).
The need of telling the good news
■to the poor despondent disciple* was
[•o Urgent that there was no time for
'familiarity. What Joy there must have
'been to toe hearts of tho disciples at
thl* food news.
