Passage: John 20:11-18
Mary Magdalene is the first witness of the resurrection, a powerful testimony to God's grace in using the lowly and broken to proclaim the risen Christ. Once freed from demonic oppression, she is transformed into a faithful disciple, demonstrating that salvation is by grace, not merit. Her story reflects the new creation brought by Jesus, who calls each of us by name into His kingdom. The resurrection is central to our faith (1 Corinthians 15:17), and through Christ, we too share in His victory over sin and death.
