Becoming Love: If We Start at Finish, Where Do We End? (Part 4)Sample

Day Eighteen – Jesus and Mary Magdalene

Have you ever felt invisible or overlooked?

Picture this: it’s Sunday morning, and Mary Magdalene is standing outside the empty tomb, weeping. Her rabbi, her saviour, was crucified a few days ago and buried in this tomb, which now stands empty.

Suddenly, Jesus appears—and Mary, a woman with a painful past, once bound by demons, and whose testimony carried little weight in that culture, becomes the first person to see Him after His resurrection.

Isn’t that beautiful? Jesus chooses to reveal His risen life to someone the world has overlooked. In doing so, He affirms her worth and her voice. When we live in union with the Father, we too begin to see people not as society labels them, but as God values them.

But that’s not all! Jesus commissions her and entrusts her with the greatest announcement in history: HE IS RISEN! “Go tell the others.” In Him, our own places of weakness or rejection can become platforms of love and purpose. The Spirit transforms us from glory to glory, so that even the overlooked can become messengers of life.

Who around you might feel unseen or unheard today? How can God’s love in you affirm their worth and release their voice?
