“He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven devils.” — Mark 16:9
Mary of Magdala was the victim of a fearful evil. She was possessed by not one devil only, but seven. These dreadful inmates caused much pain and pollution to the poor frame in which they had found a lodging. Hers was a hopeless, horrible case. She could not help herself, neither could any human succour avail. But Jesus passed that way, and unsought, and probably even resisted by the poor demoniac, He uttered the word of power, and Mary of Magdala became a trophy of the healing power of Jesus. All the seven demons left her, left her never to return, forcibly ejected by the Lord of all. What a blessed deliverance! What a…
happy
change! From delirium to delight, from despair to peace, from hell to
heaven! Straightway she became a constant follower of Jesus, catching His
every word, following His devious steps, sharing His toilsome life; and
withal she became His generous helper, first among that band of healed
and grateful women who ministered unto Him of their substance. When
Jesus was lifted up in crucifixion, Mary remained the sharer of His shame:
we find her first beholding from afar, and then drawing near to the foot of
the cross. She could not die on the cross with Jesus, but she stood as near
it as she could, and when His blessed body was taken down, she watched
to see how and where it was laid. She was the faithful and watchful
believer, last at the sepulchre where Jesus slept, first at the grave whence
He arose. Her holy fidelity made her a favoured beholder of her beloved
Rabboni, who deigned to call her by her name, and to make her His
messenger of good news to the trembling disciples and Peter. Thus grace
found her a maniac and made her a minister, cast out devils and gave her to
behold angels, delivered her from Satan, and united her for ever to the Lord
Jesus. May I also be such a miracle of grace!
