REFERENCE MATERIAL—Mark 18: 40—16:8; Luke £8:49—24:12. I PRIMARY TOPIC—How Mary Mag dalene Showed Her Love for Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—How Mary Magda ■lene Showed Her Gratitude to Jesu. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—A Woman's Grateful Service, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —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. I Riches.
