Mark 16:9-11

Call 9.1.1 call Jesus…. He is everything  that you need!

Mary Magdalene was a woman with many problems before she met Jesus. She who had sinned and had been forgiven so much also loved much and she spent the remainder of her days glorifying the Maker of Heaven and Earth. 

People respond to the love of God when we show them the love of God in our speech and most importantly in our actions. 

Ultimately it does not matter what others believe it matters whom you believe in!

Although the women had been commissioned to tell of Jesus’ resurrection, none had actually seen Jesus until He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. Only this verse and Luke 8:2 mention Jesus’ exorcism of seven demons from Mary, which would explain her strong devotion to Him. 

Jesus’ resurrection was evidently not expected by anyone in spite of His repeated predictions.

Mark 16:9-11
Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe

2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 
Luke 8:2

17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 

Matthew 28:17
