Mary Magdalene - Last at the Cross and First at the Tomb (18 of 18)
by Ken Trivette
Perhaps there is no New Testament personality that has been any more misrepresented than ''Mary called Magdalene.'' She has often been identified as the sinful woman who knelt and kissed the feet of Jesus in Luke 7:36-50. This association has led to the belief that in her past she was a prostitute. However, the first appearance of Mary in Luke 8:2 does not associate her with the previous chapter. Luke 8 is an entirely new section in the Gospel of Luke. Therefore, it would seem that Luke is speaking of two separate individuals. There have been others who have represented her as paranoiac (due to the infirmity mentioned...
He Was Seen (4 of 4)
by Jerry Vines
These verses give us the essentials of the Gospel, the good news, which brings the God of heaven all the way down from heaven into our hearts. These are the verses which explain to us just exactly what the good news, the Gospel, is all about. There are four essential ingredients to the Gospel. Christ died for our sins. He was buried. He arose again the third day. He was seen. I can well imagine after the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ that the disciples were gathering and on occasion they would discuss how they saw for the first time the risen Lord Jesus. I'm sure Mary Magdalene would have said, ''I saw Him at the tomb. I didn't...
Was Jesus Married? (5 of 14)
by Stan Coffey
A. Opus Dei 1. A secret church society of the Roman Catholic Church 2. The society seeks to cover up that Jesus was married B. The Argument For Jesus' Marriage 1. That it was un-Jewish to be unmarried (p.245) 2. According to the Gnostic texts, Jesus kissed Mary on the mouth. 3. The apostles were jealous of this special relationship. C. The Argument Against Jesus' Marriage 1. No explicit evidence recorded in any document 2. Majority of scholars agree that Jesus was single. 3. If Jesus were married, it would have been easy for the gospel writers to tell us this. 4. Even if Jesus had been married, it would not have had...
Receiving Christ's Gift of Mercy
by Frank Damazio
Introduction: Luke 8 describes the way Jesus traveled from town to town, bringing with Him disciples and attracting the sick and oppressed. One of those persons who followed Jesus was Mary Magdalene. Mary was a woman who was shown great mercy by Christ. Her condition before Christ entered the world was very similar to every person who lives without Christ. She was in need of healing, freedom, and mercy. She could not help herself. Christ revealed His gift of mercy to her. I. WE NEED MERCY A. SCRIPTURES 1. Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us…2. Luke...
The Power of Easter: The Miracle of Faith
by M. Jolaine Szymkowiak
Ah, It's Easter Sunday. A joyous occasion, a season of renewal, a time of extreme worship. Sanctuaries filled with lots of beautiful flowers: lilies, tulips, hyacinths and sometimes balloons. The children, especially the little girls, are showing off their new clothes. There is a sense of excitement, and expectancy that ripples through the congregation. Families will meet for a holiday meal after services. The little ones eagerly anticipate the Easter egg hunt. Oh, such a day. New clothes, stuffed animals and Easter bunnies, decorated eggs and lots of candy. Wow! What have we done? Is this the Easter we are to celebrate? Is that all that Easter is...
Father: The Leader of the Band
by Adrian Rogers
Take God's Word now and look at it, Psalm one hundred and twenty-eight. Now just keep that in mind and let me tell you that when Mary Magdalene came to the empty tomb that Easter morning, she saw someone. It was the Lord Jesus. And she didn't know it was Jesus, at first she thought perhaps it was the gardener. And then He spoke to her, she recognized Him and said, ''Rabboni,'' Or, or Master. And she ran to Him. And Jesus said to her, and you'll find all of this by the way in John chapter twenty, but just keep you Bible right there in the book of Psalms. And she ran to Him, reached out to touch Him and He said to her....
Mary Magdalene
by Charles H. Spurgeon
Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. Experimental preaching, when truthful, is almost always profitable. As the spouse of old desired to see the footsteps of the flock, so souls in distress are always happy to observe the proofs that others have trodden that same pathway heretofore. It may be, and I trust it shall be, that while we are speaking upon the life of Magdalene, and showing how the Lord was pleased to lead her up from the depths of mental distress to the heights of spiritual joy, some who may be in like circumstances may be led to hope that for them also there may be deliverance, and others who have...
The Gifts of the Resurrection
by Curt Dodd
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, ''They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!'' So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips...
Mary, Why Are You Crying?
by Tony Nester
Had you been near the tomb of Jesus on the first Easter morning one of the sounds you could have heard was the sound of a woman crying. Her name was Mary Magdalene - and she was wrenched by sorrow. She was crying the cry of grief. Jesus, her Lord, had died the previous Friday afternoon. He had died in shame and agony on a cross outside the gates of Jerusalem. Grief is the emotion of unwilling separation. Though we want to hold our loved ones close to us death effects a terrible separation. I have shared with many of you the fact that my mother died when I was twelve years old. What I remember most about her funeral...
The Appearance to Mary Magdalene (2 of 5)
by Jonathan McLeod
DEATH IS NOT THE END OF THE STORY: Sixty-four-year-old Herzlinde Eissler had been admitted to a hospital in Austria with stomach pains. Several days later she left the hospital and was shocked when she discovered why her family had not visited her during her stay. The hospital had made a mistake and told her family that she had died. Her son Leopold said, ''I could not believe it when she walked in through the front door and the whole family was all sitting around dressed in black and planning the funeral. At least it explains why we could not find the body when we wanted to pay our last respects.'' The disciples couldn't...
Magdalene at the Sepulchre: An Instructive Scene
by Charles H. Spurgeon
"Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing...
Was Mary The Wife Of Jesus? (2 of 14)
by Stan Coffey
I. MAY MAGDALENE IN THE NOVEL: A. The wife of Jesus and mother of His children.1. Did the church ''cover up'' evidence? 2. Mary's link to the Holy Grail 3. What about ''Holy Blood'' (Sangeal) 4. Does the Holy Grail story point to the ''holy bloodline'' of Jesus and Mary coming into France? B. Mary - a disciple portrayed in Leonardi DaVinci's ''The Last Supper'' 1. ''V'' shaped to the left side of Jesus as one looks at the painting. 2. The ''V'' is a symbol of the feminine, and the disciple on the left side of Jesus is Mary Magdalene. 3. Leonardi was a member of a special group and put these clues in his painting. 4. All these ideas can be found in...
Everyday Resurrections
by Bob Wickizer
Many people these days will claim to be spiritual but not religious, they claim to believe in God but not in miracles, the supernatural or any of this Jesus stuff. Such modern spiritual people discount or discard entirely events such as feeding the five thousand, walking on water, quieting the storm, changing water into wine, raising Lazarus from the dead and now the most outrageous claim of all, Jesus' bodily resurrection from the dead. After all, what college-educated modern person could possibly accept such stories? An agnostic most of his life, Oxford classics professor C. S. Lewis converted to Christianity late in life and gave perhaps...
Mother: The Most Earthly Word (3 of 7)
by Stan Coffey
The word passion means suffering, the suffering of the Christ. There is no other way do you understand the sufferings of the Christ than to read to the passages of the scripture that deal with the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus. So we have been looking at the crucifixion of Jesus and the seven words that Jesus spoke from the cross. Today we come to the third word that Jesus spoke concerning His mother. As you know, the scripture tells us in John chapter 19 beginning in verse 25 that His mother along with the apostle John was there when Jesus was crucified. They stood there as Jesus hung upon the cross suffering and dying for your sins...
Seeing Is Believing
by Richard Bradley
1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, ''Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, 'The...
