The Power Of The Resurrection
April 22, 2022
John 20:15-17 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
The Resurrection revealed the high esteem God has for womanhood. In all the gospels, the truth is presented that Mary Magdalene was the first person to encounter the risen Jesus. She became the first Evangelist or bearer of the good news. This debunks the perspective of religious people who deem women as only fit for making their homes, raising children, and doing domestic chores.
