Mary Magdalene
When we love someone, we do crazy things. Mary Magdalene was consumed with love for Jesus. He changed her life. Once demon-possessed, Mary had been set free because Jesus healed her (Luke 8:1–3). There was no way Mary was going to forget this man. She knew He was the Savior of the world, because He had saved her when no one else could.
Jesus paid attention to Mary and had given her life value; He delivered her from torture. Jesus showed Mary that she was accepted, no questions asked.
Mary Magdalene wasn't rich. She wasn't cultured. She didn't have power or authority or much to give Jesus and she knew it. But what she did have, she gave Him: her heart and life. When Jesus rose from the dead, the first person He saw was Mary, because she was waiting by the tomb. Her passion was all-consuming and logic-defying. When Jesus fulfilled the most impossible promise through his resurrection, Mary's faith was proved right.
1) What has Jesus healed you from?
2) When it comes to the thousands of decisions you make each day, are you motivated by what others think or what pleases God? Why?
3) What's the craziest thing you've ever done in the name of Jesus?
