pochissmo is known of Mary Magdalene. As you can tell from his name, came from Magdala, a town on the northwest shore of Lake Gallea. Jesus had freed her from seven demons that tormented her, and from that moment, had begun to follow the Lord in his travels, helping him and his followers, together with other women.
She was confused by some commentators, with the sinner who anointed the Lord's feet in the house of Simon the Pharisee, we talked about in early January. But not likely. Jesus never touched, as we know from the Gospels, a man possessed. Has only talked to demons and ordered to leave the poor things they owned. ll holy Son of God could have no contact with those who belonged to the kingdom of darkness. Jesus would not, therefore, un'indemoniata allowed to touch him, to offer him the ointment and ungergli feet.
Whatever it is, she's not talking specifically to the time of the crucifixion of the Lord in Jerusalem. Matthew (27:55,56) says that observed with other women away from the martyrdom of the Lord, Mark (15:47) writes that, with Mary, the mother of Joses observed in the evening, where Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus laid it the Lord's body, having obtained permission from Pilate to bury him.
the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb at dawn with other women, to embalm the body of the Lord. Lightly, not to call her unconscious feminine, they, along the way, they wondered how they could roll the stone that closed the tomb and who could possibly do (Mark 16:3). O had not thought of asking someone to accompany them or the disciples were too desperately sad and scared to set foot outside the house.
The fact is that, just come to the tomb, Mary Magdalene takes a look and see that the tomb is empty. Without waiting for even a moment to leave her friends and rushed to the city. He goes to tell Peter and John that the body was gone.
The disciples, travel, go to the tomb. John comes first, which does not enter the tomb. Then came Peter, who notes without understanding what happened. Later, John is part of the tomb, look carefully, see and believe. The verbs used in the greek text, expressing various shades of the verb look, they see all these attitudes (John 20:1-8).
perplexed disciples return home, but Mary is crying at the grave. Where they had brought the Lord? Two angels appear and ask her why she cries.
"They have taken the Lord's body and do not know where they have brought!"
Then he turns, he sees another man who says "Woman, why are you crying? What do you look? "
Maria thinks it is the gardener (perhaps his eyes were so full of tears that would not allow her to see well and, on the other hand, the new Lord's body was in some ways, changed) and begged him to tell her if she knows where it is the Lord's body.
Then a familiar voice calls her: "Maria!"
She recognizes the "Teacher!"
is the Lord! She wants to touch him, but he tells her not to. First was to climb from his Father and his God Maria understands that Jesus had risen. Was no longer looking for him. He had seen and heard and was the first to whom He revealed himself (Mark 16:9).
Later, other women saw him. The evening appeared to the disciples.
What happened to Mary Magdalene after the resurrection? Not if he knows anything. Anyway, his story is beautiful and can be considered as a parable of the plan of salvation.
was liberated by the power of darkness and bondage of sin. He believed in Jesus is lived humbly. She saw him die for the sins of the world. She saw the risen and triumphant. Now is the bliss of heaven.
What could you want? None.
But I am a living parable of God's grace. And so are you, as well as any believer, if you have acknowledged to be spiritually dead in sin, you saw him your only Savior and Lord, and you have entrusted to him as the only means of salvation. You do it?
